Thanksgiving Picture Subtraction Within 10

About this worksheet

Six take-away problems within 10 drawn with big Thanksgiving pictures: 9 apples with 4 crossed out, 6 pies with 2 crossed out, and so on with turkeys, pumpkins, corn, acorns, leaves and cranberries. The crossed-out pictures show what is taken away, so kindergartners count what is left and connect it to the number sentence below. Answer key on page 2. 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 10 - 5, 9 - 4, 6 - 2, 8 - 6, 7 - 3, 5 - 3. 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.
• Pull a three-page packet per child for the short school week: one math page, one word puzzle and one gratitude page at their level.
• Print the answer keys (page 2) once and clip them to a folder so early finishers can check their own work.
• For a mixed-age family table, give every child the same activity at a different level: the picture word search for the five-year-old, the dinner table word search for the nine-year-old.
