About this worksheet
A big gumball machine with ten gumballs, each holding a subtraction problem within 5. The child solves each one and colors it red, blue, yellow or green by the key along the bottom of the page.
Fluency within 5 is the kindergarten goal for subtraction, and coloring makes repeating the same small facts feel like a reward rather than a drill. The answers land on only four colors, so a finished machine looks bright and cheerful.
