About this worksheet
Five boxes of acorns, some already crossed out, and three blank lines under each one. The child writes the whole subtraction sentence: how many acorns there are, how many are crossed out, and how many are left. A friendly squirrel holds an acorn in the corner.
Writing the sentence rather than just the answer is a real step up. It shows whether a child knows what each number stands for, which matters more than getting the answer right.
It prints in black and white, and the acorns are fun to color once the work is done.
