MIX AND MATCH game to practice
'Subtract numbers from 1 to 9' for kindergarten

Subtract numbers

When you subtract 2 numbers, what you are doing is the opposite of addition. You are taking the big number and then counting down from that number as many ones as are in the second, smaller number.

So if we wanted to take away 3 from 7 (we can say 7 minus 3), we start with 7, then count down to 6, then to 5, and finally to 4, which is 3 less than 7. Subtracting numbers always makes an answer that is smaller than the first big number. That new number, the answer, is the first number with the second number taken away.

If you think about toys: you count your toy cars - say you have 6 of them. You decide to give 2 of them to your brother. When you give him the first car you now have 5 cars left. When you give him the other car, you now have 4 cars left. So, when you have given him 2 cars from your 6 cars, you have 4 cars left, which is 6 - 2.

Written as a sum, that is:

6 cars - 2 cars = 4 cars

With our Mix and match math game you will be practicing the topic "Subtract numbers from 1 to 9" from Kindergarten / Subtraction / Subtracting numbers. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to subtract single-digit numbers by counting down.

Drag the question block to the correct answer box to tidy the play room

In this game we are in a room with lots of toys - and the room needs clearing up - you need to put the play blocks back in the right boxes to tidy the room and win the game...but which is the right box for each block? Well, you can work that out by comparing the question on the block with the math answer on each of the boxes - you should drag the question block into the box whose math answer matches the picture question.

You can listen to the spoken math answer by clicking on the individual boxes. There are 5 blocks to clear up - but if you put them in the wrong boxes, there will be more... Anyway, tidy is good and practicing math is better so start now and see how you get on...

This game reinforces the math you learned or revised in the lesson by asking you to match each question to the correct answer. If you are older you may not like the childish reference to toys, but don't worry - there are other games to play, and who knows - you might like a trip down memory lane?
