$Subtraction Models Digital Math Activity – printable math resource for grades 1–3 by Amy Lemons and Get Your Teach On$

About this resource

Make subtraction more visual with this interactive digital subtraction activity! Students model subtraction equations using ten frames and movable pieces, helping them see exactly what it means to take away from a quantity.

Students begin with a set represented on a ten frame, move the X's to show the amount being subtracted, and then type the difference. This provides an important connection between visual subtraction models and written subtraction equations.
