Subtraction Sorting Football Math Game
Children of all ages enjoy sorting activities! This math game is perfect for grades K-1 and would work great for small groups, math centers, or as a partner activity.
This download includes 18 football subtraction cards (for numbers 1-5) and 5 football field goals (0-4).
Prep is easy! Just print, laminate, and cut out the football subtraction cards and field goal cards. Now it’s ready to go!
How to Play
Children should place the football subtraction cards in a pile facing down. When he/she draws a card from the pile, they will read the math problem and then solve the subtraction equation.
When the student is confident in their answer, he/she will then place the football card underneath or on top of the football field goal that is the correct answer to the subtraction equation.
Variations of Play
- Play with a partner and take turns picking football cards and solving the equations
