About this worksheet
Six picture stories, each a little scene with something flying away: a bird leaving the branch, three bees buzzing off a sunflower, two balloons floating up from a bunch, ladybugs leaving a leaf, a butterfly drifting from a bush and three leaves blowing off a bare twig. The number sentence is written underneath, and the child counts everything, takes away what is flying off and writes what is left.
This is what the kindergarten standard means by a story problem: the picture tells the story, and the child works out the answer. The last card, where every leaf blows away, leaves nothing at all on the branch.
