Parking Lot Subtraction

Today Ms. Leech thought that we should try to make subtraction stories using cars.  Luckily we had enough cars so that we could all do the activity at the same time.  We put the cars into their parking spots and then rolled the dice.  Then we took that number of cars out of their spots.  We had a great time driving the cars in and out of their spots as well as writing the corresponding subtraction sentences.
