Snake Count Back 2

Counting back is one strategy for students to solve subtraction. They will start from the total and count backwards along a number line, number track or set to find the answer.

I have just created a sequel to our very popular Snake Count Back cards. This new set features numbers up to 20.

They are write n wipe cards - print them, laminate them and then use them with your small groups, over and over again! The snake-number-line will help your students to count back to model subtraction. 

It is such a big step for your K-2 students to move from using concrete materials to separate part of a group to counting-back to solve subtraction.

Resources like this, will help you scaffold that step!

This printable pdf file will allow you to print and make 155 activity cards to help your students learn to count-back for subtraction.

It is our 2nd set of Snake Count Back cards, and includes subtraction starting with numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13 , 12 and 11.

Each card features a subtraction problem and a count-back number line snake for each student to use to solve the problem.

Find them in our store to purchase if you'd like to use them with your students!
