This Halloween roll and cover subtraction activity is an easy way to add some fun Halloween theme activities to your math centers, take-home math practice, or just a fun way to celebrate Halloween while working on math skills.
If you use manipulatives like small pom poms, mini erasers, or other manipulates to cover the numbers as you play, you can use this set over and over again. You could also use sheet protectors and dry erase markers.
We chose these adorable spider rings that we’ve used in other Halloween math activities.
How to Play
- Roll two dice.
- Start with the greater number.
- Subtract the other number.
- Cover the difference.
This printable set also includes an optional work mat to help your little ones work through the various math problems.
By asking children to first identify the greater number they are also getting additional number sense practice along the way.
