Biggest/Smallest

In fourth grade, we take all of the strategies that we have been using from previous grades and apply them to the US Algorithm for subtraction.  By fourth grade, the students should have built a strong foundation in place value.  Being solid in place value helps them with the transition to using the US Algorithm. 

This game provides great practice in subtracting.  Roll three dice to make two three-digit numbers.  One number will be larger.  Line up the numbers with the larger one on top and the smaller one beneath and solve the problem using the US Algorithm.
