Subtraction Game Worksheet for Kids: Fun Math Practice!

How to use this worksheet

Set up the board with a pencil marker for each player and a die to roll. On each turn, have your child move their marker the number of spaces shown on the die, then solve the subtraction problem printed on the space they land on. If they answer correctly, they stay; if not, they move back to their previous space. Explain that landing on a ladder lets them climb ahead, while landing on a slide sends them backward, and continue play until someone reaches the final space.

Materials needed

• Pencil
• Dice
