About this worksheet
A gumball machine filled with twelve gumballs, each carrying a small subtraction problem. The child solves each one and colors the gumball using the key at the bottom: 1 is red, 2 is blue, 3 is yellow and 4 is green.
Every answer is between 1 and 4, so a gumball that comes out as anything else has no crayon to match, which is a gentle hint to count again. The biggest number on the page is 6, keeping it an easy win.
4 − 0 is in there too, a quiet reminder that taking away nothing leaves the number just as it was.
