About this worksheet
Eight ocean cards, each showing a row of sea creatures and, below it, a minus sign and the ones being taken away. Starfish, clownfish, crabs, shells, jellyfish, turtles, seahorses and whales all make an appearance, and the child writes how many are left in the box.
There are no numbers to read at all, only pictures, which makes it a gentle way in for a child who is still connecting the minus sign to the idea of taking away. Every problem stays within 5, so the counting never gets in the way.
What students will practice
- Subtract within 5 using pictures
- Count a group, then take some away
