About this worksheet
Six subtraction problems within 10 with a 0 to 10 number line under each one. Kids start on the first number, hop backward once for every number taken away and write where they stop. Page 2 is the answer key with the hops drawn in red, so a grown-up can check the counting and not just the answer. It suits ages 4 to 6, and little ones can count the pictures with a finger. Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
On this sheet
6 problems, starting with 4 - 1, 6 - 5, 8 - 5, 5 - 5, 9 - 5, 7 - 1. The answers to all of them are on page 2.
Tips for using it
- Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
- Always mark the start number with a dot first; most mistakes come from counting the start as a hop.
- Say "forward" for adding and "back" for subtracting while hopping, so the direction sticks.
