One Fish Two Fish Subtraction Workmat Activity

Better than just a worksheet, this workmat will feel interactive to your students. Plus, their work will be unique to that of any other students working alongside since students pull number cards to create their subtraction equations. I love the idea of using a fish bowl to pull a card from in order to make it more unique. Students will enjoy acting out the equation, writing the equation and erasing it to start again. Any type of manipulative will work in this activity
