Who does not have play doh in the house for the kids to enjoy playing with? Almost nobody and that's exactly the reason why we love to depend on it in so many different ways when it comes to learning. This educational video is about teaching the child basic subtraction through play-doh splat.

With the play doh, make small balls which the child will use to count and subtract - you could create them all in the same color or even in different ones, its all up to you. If you are trying to make it more interesting for the child, you could even let them roll some balls with you before you start the game - or the lesson :-)

All what the parent will do is impose different subtraction equations on the child and let him/her do those equations from the play doh balls. For example, if the equation is 6-1, the kid will then have to bring six play doh balls and place them in front of him/her and then splat the number that needs to be taken away which in this case is one in order to manage bringing the final answer out and solve the equation, which will be 5.

This is a really fun and interesting math game for kids from which they could learn subtraction, it only needs a willing player and the play doh, and everything will be set and ready for the lesson to start. We believe that kids enjoy this method a lot because it depends on their favorite play doh and because they get to splat the balls which they are supposed to take away to get out the final answer.

There are lots of different math games for kids when it comes to addition and subtraction, but every single one will always depend on the age of the child and the facts about numbers that he/she has already learned and could keep up with. Parents should be always careful while they are choosing these math games for their kids because they are the only ones who know where their kids are standing in math.

In addition to these different games, there are also the typical ordinary methods and strategies which are used in teaching kids how to subtract, these make subtraction much easier but they are not done with games or toys. There are those strategies followed on the white board, such as the column method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcAwwP8PJbg), there is also the removal mental strategy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSYXMxtzGbA), the counting on strategy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pyB7Sk-ghM) and there are also those different mental math tricks which are related to several other mathematical operations, such as addition, multiplication and division.

This play doh method used with the kids to learn basic subtraction is very easy, fun and challenging, and it always works with the kids because they get to roll the play doh balls themselves, place the number they are asked about, and they are also the ones who will splat the number of balls which they are supposed to remove from the bigger number and bring the final answer.

Challenge your kids, bring them different games and tricks in order to play and learn both at the same time, and let them be the ones in leading the game and putting the rules to feel that they could solve the equations all by themselves.

There are lots of math games for kids to learn subtraction, some are also with play doh while others are not, but they should be always with the right tools that would grab the attention of the child and give them the chance to learn something new.
