Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Today, we’re going to learn about subtraction. Subtraction is when we take away some numbers from a bigger number. Let’s see how it works!
Imagine you have nine apples. If you give six apples to your friend, how many apples do you have left? Let’s find out:
Nine minus six equals three. So, you have three apples left!
Now, let’s try another one. If you have twelve candies and you eat two, how many candies do you have now?
Twelve minus two equals ten. Yum! You still have ten candies.
What if you have eleven balloons and five fly away? How many balloons are left?
Eleven minus five equals six. You have six balloons left to play with!
Let’s keep going! If you have twelve cookies and you give nine to your friends, how many cookies do you have left?
Twelve minus nine equals three. You have three cookies left to enjoy!
What if you have eleven toy cars and you give nine to your brother? How many do you have now?
Eleven minus nine equals two. You have two toy cars left!
Now, if you have ten pencils and you give five to your classmates, how many pencils do you have?
Ten minus five equals five. You still have five pencils!
Let’s practice some more. If you have twelve crayons and you use six, how many crayons are left?
Twelve minus six equals six. You have six crayons left to color with!
Imagine you have nine stickers and you give four to your friend. How many stickers do you have now?
Nine minus four equals five. You have five stickers left!
Finally, if you have ten marbles and you lose two, how many marbles do you have?
Ten minus two equals eight. You have eight marbles left to play with!
Wow, you did an amazing job learning subtraction! Remember, subtraction is just taking away some numbers from a bigger number. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a subtraction superstar!
Subtraction Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom! Find different objects like toys, books, or snacks. Start with a group of objects, and then take some away. Count how many are left. For example, if you have 8 toy cars and you give 3 to a friend, how many do you have left? Write down your findings and share them with your classmates or family.
Subtraction Story Time: Create a short story using subtraction. Draw pictures to illustrate your story. For example, “Once upon a time, there were 10 colorful balloons. The wind blew 4 away. How many balloons were left?” Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them to solve the subtraction problem in your story.
Subtraction in Nature: Take a walk outside with a grown-up and observe nature. Look for groups of things like flowers, leaves, or birds. Count how many you see, then imagine if some were taken away. How many would be left? For example, if you see 7 birds and 2 fly away, how many are left? Discuss your observations and subtraction problems with your grown-up.
