Subtraction Fluency Practice

April 24, 2018 misskindergarten Leave a Comment

We have been working on our addition & subtraction fluency a lot in kindergarten! Earlier in the year, I introduced Add & Reveal and my kiddos went bonkers over the cards! They already loved our Read & Reveal cards, so they were really excited about these! Once we started working on subtraction, I brought out Subtract & Reveal!  These Subtraction Fluency Practice cards are a fun way for your students to practice their fact fluency. Your students can use any subtraction strategy to solve these problems. You can even give them tiny manipulatives to make it even more fun! These are perfect for your math centers or RTI groups!

I wanted to share a little more about these Subtraction Fluency Practice cards with you!
subtraction fluency practice
One of our kindergarten standards is to add and subtract fluently, so we practice lots! These subtraction fluency practice cards make the mundane task a lot more fun!
Here’s how they work:
The students choose a card {depending on what skill they’re working on, more on that below!} and read the equation.

subtraction fluency practice
In the beginning, when we are learning, I do not expect my students to
solve these fluently, which is why I included visual support. In this example, they will read “4 minus 1 is”. They will use what they know about subtraction to solve this problem. They can use a dry-erase marker to cross out the number they are subtracting to help them see the answer {another reason to laminate the cards!}.
Once they are confident with their answer, they will unclip the card to *reveal* the answer!
Once they become more confident with their subtraction fluency, you can take away the visual support and use only number symbols.
I have included cards for several subtraction skills!
Subtraction minus 0
Subtraction minus 1

Subtraction from 5 and minus 5

Subtraction from 10 and minus 10

Doubles Subtraction

Mixed subtraction from 10 and 20

Helpful Tips:
*Print the cards on thick cardstock and laminate them for durability! They will be handled often so you’ll want them to stay intact!
*You can also print each skill on a different colored cardstock so they are easy to organize by skill.
*Store the cards you aren’t using in plastic bags or small plastic bins with labels! {see how I organize my Read & Reveal cards here}
*Find fun clothespins on clearance at Michaels or Joanns after holidays, or pick them up in the Target Dollar Spot!
I hope you and your kiddos find these Subtraction Fluency Practice cards as fun and useful as my kids and I did.

These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading are such a great idea! She keeps them out while reading a story so she can ask comprehension questions before, during, and after reading. Have you tried story times sticks? #saturdayteachershare

A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Ca A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Camden’s self esteem while reading has risen! He is so proud of himself and loves his book. He read five pages in a row with excitement!” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THIS is why we do it! Building readers who are CONFIDENT in themselves & show excitement for learning. Once that confidence emerges, those readers shine! ☀️
