Learning Subtraction

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a subtraction practice sheet that employs images to help students understand the concept of subtraction. It displays rows of pictures such as flowers, pots, watering cans, and leaves, and each row has a corresponding subtraction problem. The task for the students is to cross out the number of items that represent the subtrahend and then count the remaining items to find the solution to the subtraction problem. They are to write this final number in the space provided to complete each subtraction sentence.

The worksheet’s objective is to make subtraction tangible by allowing students to actively participate in the ‘taking away’ process. By crossing out images and counting what’s left, students can see the direct result of subtraction, which aids in their understanding of how quantities are reduced through this operation. This visual and interactive method is especially effective for young learners, helping them to grasp the concept of subtraction in a concrete way. The worksheet also reinforces counting skills and the ability to associate numbers with physical quantities.
