About this worksheet
Eight cards, each with two dice and a minus sign between them. The child counts the dots on each die, takes the second number away from the first and writes the answer on the line.
Dice are the friendliest numbers a five-year-old knows, and most children can name a dice pattern without counting the dots one by one. Every problem stays within 6, and 5 − 5 and 3 − 3 are mixed in so zero comes up naturally.
It prints in black and white and pairs well with a real pair of dice for making up more problems afterward.
