Make a deck of the dot cards from 1 to 5.
Draw one card from the deck, then place it on the printout the where it says “Place Your Dot Card.”
Subtract one from the dot number and call out the answer. For example, if the card is 2, then minus (take away) 1 from 2, and the answer is 1.
Keep trying until you use all the cards!
Teachers
Please help students understand that when they see a minus sign, they need to take away the numbers.
