Subtraction Tables in a child's hands
The equations for the Subtraction Strip Board, printed as tables: 18 sheets to a set, ten complete sets in the box. Ten sets is the specification that matters, because it means a class works at the same time instead of queueing for one copy, and a sheet that gets written on or lost is replaced from the same box. The strip board itself is a separate item. The sheets are what turn the board from a demonstration into daily work with a beginning and an end.
Mathematical Memory
Repetitive practice builds automatic recall of subtraction facts, creating a strong foundation for advanced arithmetic.
Self-Correction
Separate answer cards enable children to check their work independently, fostering confidence and self-directed learning.
Concentration
Focused work with individual cards develops sustained attention and systematic thinking patterns.
Abstract Thinking
Transition from concrete materials to abstract number work supports cognitive development in mathematical reasoning.
How to present it
Organize equation cards by minuend (1-18) in separate columns on a mat. Place answer cards in a basket nearby.
- 1Select one column of equations (e.g., all subtractions from 9)
- 2Read each equation aloud and calculate the answer
- 3Find the corresponding answer card and place it beside the equation
- 4After completing the column, turn over answer cards to verify
- 5Record completed equations in mathematics notebook
3 tips for parents
- Practice subtraction in daily life: 'We have 8 apples and eat 3...'
- Play 'store' games where children make change from 10 or 20
- Notice subtraction patterns during cleanup: counting items as they're put away

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is appropriate for the Subtraction Tables?
The Subtraction Tables are designed for children ages 3-6 who are ready to explore subtraction concepts. Most children begin using them around age 4-5, after gaining familiarity with addition and number recognition up to 18.
How do children use the Subtraction Tables for self-correction?
The material includes separate equation cards and answer cards. Children work through subtraction problems, then check their work by matching with the corresponding answer card, promoting independent learning and self-assessment.
What subtraction facts are included in this material?
The Subtraction Tables cover subtraction facts from 1-18, providing comprehensive practice with all basic subtraction combinations within this range. This aligns with the Montessori mathematics curriculum for early elementary.
How durable are the cardstock cards for classroom use?
The cards are made from sturdy cardstock material designed to withstand frequent handling by young children. With proper care and storage, they maintain their quality through years of classroom or home use.
Can these tables be used alongside other Montessori math materials?
Yes, the Subtraction Tables complement other Montessori math materials like the subtraction strip board, golden beads, and number rods. They serve as an abstract practice tool after children have worked with concrete manipulatives.
