It features several rows of images, each depicting items like trophies, people, birds, crayons, and apples, with each set corresponding to a number that needs to be subtracted from.

It enhances the students’ ability to recognize numbers and understand subtraction as taking away from a total quantity. By crossing out the images and counting what remains, students reinforce their counting and analytical skills. This method also makes learning subtraction more engaging and can be especially helpful for visual learners.
