Hexagon Moves

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help children practice the concept of subtraction by using a visual method of crossing out shapes. It contains rows of diamonds in different colors, with each row displaying a certain number of diamonds alongside a subtraction problem. The children are instructed to subtract by crossing out the number of diamonds specified by the second numeral in the problem and then to write the remaining number of diamonds on the line provided. The colorful diamonds serve as a fun and engaging way to represent the subtraction problems visually.

The worksheet aims to reinforce the understanding of subtraction by providing a hands-on, visual approach. It teaches students to associate the act of crossing out with the mathematical process of subtraction, thereby enhancing their grasp of removing quantities from a whole. By counting the number of shapes left, the students can directly observe the result of the subtraction, making the concept more tangible. This exercise also helps in developing counting skills and number recognition as children engage with the problems.
