Subtraction becomes a hands-on adventure with the Touch & Match Sensory Subtraction Cards. This engaging set of 40 self-checking match-ups offers a tactile and visual approach to mastering subtraction within 10 or 20. Students choose an activity card featuring a number line or 10-frames, then touch and count the textured dots to solve the problem. Once they’ve worked out the subtraction, they match the card with the correct number card to show the answer. The cards are colour-coded into four pockets for easy organisation and progressive learning, and a teacher guide is included for extra support. Designed to strengthen number sense and subtraction strategies, this interactive resource helps young learners visualise maths concepts in a meaningful and sensory-rich way. Ideal for small groups, independent work, or intervention sessions, these cards keep learners engaged and confident while reinforcing foundational maths skills.
