Snake Game for Subtraction Problems

The Snake Game for subtraction problems is an invaluable tool that helps children understand the concept of subtraction in a visual and concrete way. By using colorful bead bars, they learn the basics of subtraction, including crossing the ten boundary. This game makes abstract math skills tangible and easy to grasp through beads and counting aids.

In this game, children receive a chain of tasks consisting of both addition and subtraction problems. The additions are represented by colorful bead bars, which are arranged into a "snake." The gray bead bars represent the numbers to be subtracted. Each step of the problem is carefully laid out by the child using the beads: for additions, they complete the colorful bead bars into golden ten bars, with the black-and-white bead bars aiding in this transformation. The gray bead bars are then subtracted, with the black-and-white bars again serving as helpers. The individual steps of subtraction can be followed using small plastic riders that "ride back" along the bars to visualize the subtraction.

At the end of the process, the child can easily see the result by counting the remaining beads. This interactive learning process helps children not only understand subtraction but also grasp the underlying structure of the decimal system.

The material comes in a durable wooden tray with four colorful wooden boxes where the various bead bars can be neatly stored: golden bars for the tens, colored bars for the units, black-and-white bars as aids for exchanging, and gray bars for the numbers to be subtracted. This provides both a practical and organized way to work with the material.

With the Snake Game, children learn the principles of subtraction in a playful and visual way, making it an indispensable tool for the classroom or therapy. The high-quality wooden and plastic materials ensure durability, while the various colors and shapes offer an attractive and stimulating learning experience.
