Subtraction for Early Years

Subtraction for Early Years

(0)
During subtraction week, we carried out 3 activities. We used the ‘Playdough Smash’ laminated sheet to make blobs of playdough up to 10. Then we used whiteboard pens to write subtraction number sentences. When children took numbers away, they smashed the playdough then counted to see how many were left. We used the purse and the 10 frame to pay for items in the shop. We started with 10p (1p in each square) the we took pennies away to find out how much we had left. We used the differentiated worksheets to cross out the objects to see how many were left.
