About this worksheet
Eight picture subtraction problems within 10 (7 take away 3, 9 take away 4) using Christmas pictures: gifts, stars, bells, ornaments, candy canes, stockings, trees and gingerbread men. The pictures that are taken away are already crossed out, so kindergartners count what is left and write the difference. Answer key on page 2. Big pictures and only a few tasks per page make it a gentle start for kindergartners. Add white for snow.
On this sheet
8 problems, starting with 10 - 2, 4 - 2, 3 - 2, 6 - 5, 3 - 1, 7 - 1, 5 - 3, 6 - 1. The answers to all of them are on page 2.
Tips for using it
- Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
- Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
- Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
- Make a three-page packet per child: one word search, one maze and one math or reading page at their level. It fills a quiet 20 minutes.
