Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual tool for teaching subtraction using picture representations. It contains rows of images including lamps, balls, ice cream cones, buckets, and lemons, each row paired with a subtraction problem. Students are instructed to cross out a specified number of images in accordance with the subtrahend and then count the remaining images to determine the answer. The correct answer is to be recorded in the blank space provided to complete the subtraction sentence.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of subtraction by providing a hands-on experience of ‘taking away’ from a total number. It helps students visualize the subtraction process and understand the relationship between the total, the amount subtracted, and the remaining quantity. This method is particularly beneficial for young learners as it makes abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and easier to understand. Additionally, the worksheet aids in developing counting skills and number recognition.
