How Many Left

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to teach children subtraction through a process of elimination, using a visual method of crossing out items. It features rows of different modes of transportation, such as bicycles, buses, and sailboats, with specific instructions to cross out a number of items and record the remaining count. Each row includes a subtraction equation with the first number representing the original count of items, a second number indicating how many to cross out, and a box for the student to fill in with the resulting number. This interactive approach encourages children to visually process the subtraction as they actively participate in the removal of items.

The worksheet aims to teach students the basics of subtraction by providing a hands-on activity that combines visual cues with numerical equations. It encourages the development of counting skills and the understanding of subtraction as taking away from a total. By using familiar objects, such as vehicles and boats, the worksheet makes the abstract concept of subtraction relatable and easier for young learners to grasp. The activity not only reinforces numerical subtraction but also promotes fine motor skills through the action of crossing out.
