3-Digit Subtraction Kaboom Game

Created by
Laura Simons
This game is 3-digit subtraction with and without regrouping. I like to have my students practice the skills taught with games and not worksheets. They get enough worksheet practice in their math workbooks. This game is one I used to have my 5th graders play with various skills. I like that it is easy to assemble and uses a Pringles can which is relatively easy to get and recycle with contact paper and a label. This game can be played whole group with teams or as a partner practice game.

I have looked at many exit slips for reading on TPT. I have not found any that really meet the needs of my class. If I give my students a what were you thinking exit slip, I get all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with what they read even though we have discussed and practiced thinking while we are reading. So, when I found this great Partner Talk bookmark on TPT (cannot remember who made it and it is not in the file anywhere) that had great partner talk questions, I made the following
