This wooden subtraction game introduces foundational subtraction concepts through hands-on, tactile play. Students will develop early number sense, understand the concept of 'taking away', and practice counting backwards. The game also strengthens fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and promotes logical thinking as children manipulate physical objects to solve subtraction problems. It encourages collaborative learning and builds confidence in mathematical reasoning.
Designed for early years and Foundation to Year 2 students (ages 3–7), this resource is ideal for Mathematics and STEM learning areas. It supports differentiated instruction in preschool, kindergarten, and early primary classrooms, as well as at-home learning environments.
