Minus Strategy provides students in elementary strategies to subtract numbers in a fun way. With this app kids practice and master subtraction.

We give you the minuend and the difference, named “Goal”. Use your best strategy to find the subtrahend(s) of your equation. This game involves other math concepts besides subtraction such as addition, place value and fast computation.

At the beginning, kids choose their level of difficulty from a menu of equations. First graders can start with one star, second graders may start with two stars, and so on. Sally Subtract is your kids new friend who will guide them in this fun math game!

Start playing Minus Strategy!
- Kids are given a minuend and a “Goal” for the difference.
- Kids have an equation with one, two or three subtrahends to fill (i.e. 23 - ? - ? = 17).
- Think your best strategy to subtract the number and get your goal using the numbers on the screen. Drag the number to the corresponding digit space (tip: you can use the number 0 in the ones 01, tens 10 or hundreds 100 to reach your goal!)
