See what remains
Understand subtraction as taking objects away, crossing out picture groups, counting what remains, and matching the action to a minus equation.
Subtraction begins with a visible action: start with a group, take some away, and count what is left. These pages use clear pictures and crossing-out marks so children can connect a story to a minus equation.
Act out before writing
Use counters or toys to show one take-away situation. Teachers can model removing items slowly; families can remove crackers or blocks, then ask the child to recount the remaining set.
Guidance for parents and teachers
Begin with a visible group and physically remove the stated number before marking any equation. On paper, cross out each removed picture once, then count only the uncrossed pictures. Teachers can use counters on a mat; families can take away blocks during play. Simplify with starting amounts to five. Extend by asking the child to tell a matching take-away story. Prompt: 'How many were there at the start, and how many are still here?'
