Well, it only makes sense after looking at your data from my FREE TPT Diagnostic Subtraction Tool within 1,000 to follow up with some leveled practice. What I love about these cards is that they are differentiated by level with the use of different colors. Hellooooo, easy set-up and clean-up! I'd like to think that all of my little lovelies always put things away in the proper place, but the color coding is like my insurance policy just in case I end of having to re-sort the cards.
If you choose to put these cards in a center or use them in a game setting, kids at different levels can play together. Though a lot of centers and small group activities are set up to have kids at similar levels working together, this is a nice change. All you have to do is give kids the color cards they need to work on.
These 3-4 digit subtraction cards were my very first TPT product! It's a really basic product, but looking back, I remember that it took me hours to create because it was such a new world to me I was totally out of my league and feeling lost (kind of like how I felt when I built this blog). I really struggled with titling the product because I'm not a big fan of the word borrowing. I'm in the "re-grouping" family and my kiddos and I always relate re-grouping for trading out with an even exchange (one ten is the same as ten ones), whereas borrowing implies that you are gaining something. I went with borrowing in the title because it was if my marketing and business professors from college were whispering in my ear. I wish the teacher in me would have told them to put their voices back in their pockets.
