How to use this worksheet
Look at the first subtraction problem together and read the numbers involved, using fingers or drawn counters if that helps your child visualize the equation. Solve the problem together and write the answer in the space provided. Read the instruction for that box carefully, since some boxes may also ask your child to circle a certain number of items or complete another small task related to the answer. Move through each box on the page the same way, checking each answer before continuing.
