Teaching Tips
Progressive Learning
Start with Easy mode to build confidence and fluency with basic subtraction facts. Gradually progress through the difficulty levels as skills improve.
Timed Challenges
Use the average time feature to challenge students to improve their speed. Set personal goals for completing a specific number of problems within a time limit.
Mental Math Strategies
Encourage students to develop and articulate their mental subtraction strategies. For example, when subtracting 15 - 7, they might think: "15 - 5 = 10, then 2 more makes 8."
Error Analysis
When students make mistakes, use them as learning opportunities. Discuss the error and work through the correct solution together before moving on.
