Subtraction Bowling
Learning Goals: Math, Number Sense, Subitizing, Composing and Decomposing Numbers
- In small groups, set up plastic bowling pins (or cups) and have students "bowl" using a soft ball.
- After each turn, have students describe the number of pins there were to start, how many are left, and how many fell down.
- Work with the students to model creating the number sentence after each bowl.
