Instructional Ideas

• Use in a language arts class or math class to encourage number writing
• Assign as homework or a warm-up activity in the beginning of a lesson
• Have kids work in pairs to solve the problems at the end
• Include in a reading or writing assessment

Classroom Considerations

• Learners may be thrown off by the hyphens between the numbers in the subtraction equations; be sure to emphasize which signs are meant for subtraction
• Designed for English learners but helpful for kids in mainstream classes as well
• You may need to provide space for kids to write out the equations in numerical form to solve them, if they're not using mental math

Pros

• Comes with an answer key for straightforward assessment
• Provides a few examples 

Cons

• None
