Subtract Triangles

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical exercise focusing on subtraction, where students use visual aids to solve problems. Rows of colorful triangles are presented, with each row corresponding to a subtraction problem indicated above it. The students’ task is to cross out the number of triangles that the subtraction problem dictates and then write the resulting number of triangles remaining on the line provided. The use of shapes in different colors not only makes the worksheet visually appealing but also helps differentiate the sets for subtraction.

The worksheet is designed to teach students subtraction in a visual and interactive manner. It helps them to understand subtraction as the process of removing a certain number of items from a larger set. By physically crossing out the triangles, students can see the concept of subtraction in action, which aids in their comprehension of the mathematical operation. This exercise also serves to reinforce counting skills and number writing, as students count the remaining triangles and record their answers.
