Match the Domino Differences

The worksheet includes several dominoes, each with a varying number of dots, and a list of numbers on the side. The goal is to connect each domino to the number that represents the result of the subtraction.

The matching aspect of the exercise reinforces number recognition and the understanding of subtraction as a means of finding the difference between two quantities. Additionally, this activity enhances fine motor skills through the action of drawing lines and provides a visual and interactive way for students to engage with arithmetic.
