Addition and subtraction game

You will need two bowls filled with cubes or other small objects, paper and a pen.

How to play

This game can be played individually or as a speed game against another player.

Grab a handful of objects from each bowl, count how many in each pile and write out an addition or subtraction sentence (remind children that the largest number needs to go first if they are practising subtraction).

If playing against another player. Both players take a handful, then race each other to write out the addition/subtraction number sentence.
