The response to my “Add It!” game was so great, that I decided to make a “Subtract It!” Game as well. (Please ignore the ‘add it’ scoops in the pics, I’m just lazy! The Subtract It! game DOES come with “Subtract It” scoops!)
Click here to download Subtract It!
The rules of Subtract It! are simple:
- Place a subtraction flashcard onto the empty white rectangle on the game board.
- Using any manipulative of your choice, place the correct amount of objects into the top green box based on the top number on the subtraction flashcard.
- Using the “Scoop”, scoop the correct amount of objects into the recycle bin based on the bottom number on the subtraction flashcard
- Using the “Scoop”, scoop the remaining objects from the top green box down into the bottom yellow box for your answer.
- Count the objects in the bottom yellow box, and place the correct number card onto the bottom of the subtraction flashcard.
- Pick a new card and play again!
The download includes:
- Subtraction flashcards for numbers 1-9 (ie: 1-0, 1-1, 2-0…9-9)
- 0-9 answer number cards
- A game board
- 4 “Subtract It” scoops (I laminated the front only, then glued the scoops to cardboard and cut them out to make them more durable.)

I just wanted to leave a comment to thank you for the wonderful Subtract It game. It is a great visual for my son with autism. Thanks again for your generosity!!!

This is fabulous!!! I love it for my kindergarten students. Do you have separate “Add It” cards to go on the left side?? Or do you just have them practice without the number sentence? My kids will totally understand this. Thank you for sharing!!! 🙂

Great game! I’m a teacher in Slovenia and would like to use the game in one of my classes. May I translate the game to slovenian language?
THANK YOU!! This is a wonderful work. I am a montessori teacher and this is just beautiful. We will be using it a lot!
Thank you,
Kim
This would be fun to put in our workboxes for kindergarten.
LOVE this! Subtraction is SO hard for the kids to grasp; this will really help. Thanks so much!
THANKS SOOOOO much. I have been having a very hard time with Math with my little one and this is PERFECT!
What a GREAT game!
