Subtraction is a way of taking away some things from a group. Let’s learn about subtraction with a fun story about cookies!
Imagine you have a plate with 9 yummy cookies. If you eat 3 cookies, how many cookies are left? Let’s see:
– You start with 9 cookies.
– You eat 3 cookies.
– Now, you have 6 cookies left!
This is how subtraction works. You take away some cookies, and you count how many are left.
Sometimes, subtraction can be a little tricky. But don’t worry! It’s just about taking away some things. Let’s try another example:
– You have 6 cookies.
– You give 2 cookies to a friend.
– Now, you have 4 cookies left!
You can even use real cookies or toys to help you see how subtraction works. Just count them, take some away, and count again!
Cookie Monster loves cookies! He shows subtraction by eating them. He starts with 4 cookies. After eating all 4, he has 0 cookies left. This is another way to see subtraction: 4 minus 4 equals 0.
Subtraction can be shown in many ways. You can use cookies, toys, drawings, or even stories. This helps everyone learn in a way that makes sense to them.
Learning subtraction with cookies is fun! When you play and learn, it helps you remember better. You can use these ideas to solve other subtraction problems too. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a subtraction superstar!
