Dive into math fun with our "Subtraction Smash" activity, a playful way to introduce your preschooler to the concept of subtraction! After printing and laminating our Subtraction Smash cards, it's time to bring out the playdough. Have your child form a playdough ball for each square on the card, then "smash" each ball to visually and physically demonstrate subtraction - showcasing the idea of "taking away" in an engaging manner.

To deepen understanding for learners ready for more, accompany each smash with written number sentences (e.g., 6-2=4) on a whiteboard or paper. For younger learners, emphasize one-to-one counting by having them touch and count each ball that remains. This activity not only makes subtraction fun but also blends tactile learning with essential math concepts.

Included in this package are half-page layouts with 6 spots and full-page layouts with 10 spots, available in both full color and black and white versions. "Subtraction Smash" turns math time into playtime, effectively teaching subtraction while keeping young minds active and entertained!
