Welcome to Smile and Learn! Are you ready to have some fun with subtraction? Let’s play a game with dinosaurs and cans! It’s a great way to practice subtracting numbers. Are you excited? Let’s get started!
Imagine there are six cans, and you need to hit four of them. How many cans will be left? Let’s do the math!
Great job! You hit four cans. If there were six cans and you hit four, there are now two cans left. So, six minus four equals two!
Now, there are eight cans. Try to hit three of them. How many will be left? Let’s subtract!
Well done! You hit three cans. If there were eight cans and you hit three, there are now five cans left. So, eight minus three equals five!
Let’s try with eleven cans. Hit five of them. How many are left? Let’s find out!
Nice shot! You hit five cans. If there were eleven cans and you hit five, there are now six cans left. So, eleven minus five equals six!
Now, there are thirteen cans. Try to hit nine. How many will be left? Let’s see!
Fantastic! You hit nine cans. If there were thirteen cans and you hit nine, there are now four cans left. So, thirteen minus nine equals four!
Here’s the last one! There are fifteen cans. Try to hit fourteen. How many will be left?
Incredible! You hit fourteen cans. If there were fifteen cans and you hit fourteen, there is now just one can left. So, fifteen minus fourteen equals one!
You did an amazing job! Subtracting is so much fun, isn’t it? Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better!

Dinosaur Subtraction Hunt: Create a small dinosaur-themed scavenger hunt at home or in the classroom. Hide a certain number of toy dinosaurs or dinosaur cutouts around the area. Ask the children to find a specific number of them. Once they have found the dinosaurs, ask them to subtract the number they found from the total number hidden. For example, if you hide 10 dinosaurs and they find 6, how many are still hidden? This activity helps children practice subtraction in a fun and engaging way.
Subtraction Story Time: Encourage the children to create their own subtraction stories using dinosaurs. They can draw pictures or use dinosaur toys to act out their stories. For example, “There were 7 dinosaurs playing in the park. 3 dinosaurs went home for dinner. How many dinosaurs are still playing?” Ask them to share their stories with the class or family members, explaining the subtraction problem and solution.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or neighborhood. Ask them to observe and count different objects, like trees, cars, or birds. Then, create simple subtraction problems based on their observations. For instance, “We saw 10 birds, and 4 flew away. How many birds are left?” This activity encourages children to apply subtraction to real-world situations and enhances their observation skills.

Hi there! I see you’re having a blast! It just occurred to me that this is a great game to practice subtraction. I see you’re really good at it! Here’s a challenge for you. Are you up for it? Awesome! This challenge is all about hitting the number of cans I’ll be asking you to. Shall we give it a go?

Let’s start with something easy to warm up. There are six cans, and I want you to hit four of them. If you make it, how many cans would be left? Time to subtract!
You’ve got it right! Go for it! Great job! You’ve hit all four cans. If there were six cans before and you hit four of them, now there are two cans left. The result of the subtraction problem, six minus four, is two.
Let’s carry on! There are eight cans. How many will be left if you hit three of them? Go ahead and do the subtraction!
You’ve got it right! It’s your turn to hit the can! Wow, well done! If there were eight cans before and you hit three of them, now there are five cans left. The result of the subtraction problem, eight minus three, is five.
Let’s do some more! This will get a little bit more complicated. There are eleven cans now. Try to hit five of them. How many will you have left? Let’s subtract!
Ready? Nice shot! If there were eleven cans before and you hit five of them, now there are six cans left. The result of the subtraction problem, eleven minus five, is six.
Come on, we’re almost there! There are lots of cans—thirteen of them! You’ll have to hit nine. Can you do it? Let’s subtract!
Ready? Let’s see how good your aim is! Fantastic! You are truly good at this! If there were thirteen cans before and you hit nine of them, now there are four cans left. The result of the subtraction problem, thirteen minus nine, is four.
Let’s do one last try. This won’t be an easy one! There are fifteen cans. Try to hit fourteen. Let’s subtract!
You’ve got it right! Last throw! That’s a tough challenge! Incredible! You’re such an expert! If there were fifteen cans before and you hit fourteen of them, now there’s just one can left. The result of the subtraction problem, fifteen minus fourteen, is one. Your aim is awesome!
