Mr. Mussbaum

Subtraction with Base Ten Blocks

NLVM

This is a great site for practicing subtraction using manipulatives and numeral representation. I suggest modeling the process first and encouraging them to borrow from the tens before they begin removing ones. This way what the program does relates to how they solve the problem without manipulatives (crossing out the ten and showing the movement of ten ones to the ones place).

Multiplication Station

Sheppard Software

To play this game you'll have to not only know your facts but be able to break them down as well. For example, 60 can be made with 6 X 10, but if there's no 10, you have to use 6 X 5 X 2!
