Resource details
Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the number signs - = easy to read and the large boxes model a clear layout of the subtraction process to young learners.

The portrait format provides optimal space for each sum, a good sized box enables learners to place small objects and draw these to count and record the total amount. Learners will need to move the total amount counted into the first box (on the left) to the box in the centre to then ‘subtract’ the amount from there. Learners can draw the total number of objects left in the last box (on the right). There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers.

Recommendations
Small objects can be placed in each box as long as these are not deemed a choking hazard for your little learner/s). Suggestions of small objects (to count) include:
small coloured matchsticks
buttons
pom poms
sticky spots
stickers especially if themed to suit your learner’s interests

Learners could also roll dice and draw the number of spots rolled in the boxes, writing the total number of spots underneath.
