Overview

Subtraction Dominoes is a printable game designed to help students practise and strengthen their subtraction skills. Students match domino tiles by solving subtraction problems, reinforcing basic subtraction within 20 in a fun way.

Learning Objectives

Improve fluency with subtraction facts up to 20.
Develop problem-solving skills by identifying correct matches.
Foster cooperative learning through group play.

How the Activity Works

Players take turns drawing and matching dominoes by connecting subtraction problems with their correct differences. For example, a domino with ‘15 - 7’ can be matched to one displaying ‘8’ or an equivalent equation. If a player cannot make a match, they draw a new domino. The game continues until one player has matched all their dominoes or the pile is exhausted, with the winner being the player who has the fewest dominoes remaining.
