Sub Tract

More problems in the candy factory!

The workers are getting very stressed, because there are so many people demanding boxes of Turkish Delight and because the boss is so angry all the time!

Many workers wake up in the morning, but they just can’t come to work. They are just too tired! So – they call a substitute. At the factory, the substitutes are called “sub” plus their name. So a substitute named Bob would be called “Sub Bob”. And a substitute named Matilda would be called “Sub Matilda”.

Sub Tract

One substitute is named Tract. He is always in a good mood and he always works very quickly. There is just one problem…

He eats a lot of candy!!!

Sub Tract

The Sub Tract Game

In this game, you will flip cards to fill boxes of Turkish Delight. Flip as many cards as you need to so that you have some spillover. Draw the Turkish Delights in as you flip and then write a number sentence showing how many Turkish Delights you have.

Then flip one more time. That is how many Turkish Delights Tract ate! Cross them out and write a new number sentence!
