Monster Subtraction
Review subtraction with numbers up to 12
Ages 7–8
Read base-ten blocks, count US coins, review subtraction, and explore number patterns. Choose a short browser game for a classroom warm-up or practice at home.
Review subtraction with numbers up to 12
Solve subtraction facts within 12 to move along the track
Count US coins and one-dollar bills, then calculate change
Extension: match rectangles to a target perimeter in grid units
Find missing numbers in adding, subtracting, and multiplying patterns
Read numbers from hundreds blocks, tens bars, and ones
For place value, start with Base Ten Builder. Read ones, tens, and hundreds blocks, then choose the number they represent. Later rounds use three-digit numbers.
For a subtraction warm-up, try Monster Subtraction or Subtraction Sprint. Both use numbers up to 12. Ask the student to explain a subtraction fact before trying to answer faster.
Money Counts uses US pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and one-dollar bills. Students count amounts first and calculate change in later rounds; the currency may need an introduction outside the US.
For an extension, explore Number Patterns or Perimeter Tile Match. Patterns include adding, subtracting, and multiplying; perimeter uses grid units. Choose these after checking the student is ready for the rule or measurement task.
