Free printable take-away subtraction worksheets for kindergarten
Each row is one subtraction. The pictures show the starting group, and the ones being taken away are crossed out or moved aside.
The child counts what is left and writes that number. One kind of picture is used for each question.
Worksheet
Take-Away Subtraction
Count the pictures that are not crossed out.
About
A visual subtraction worksheet. Every problem stores the starting number, the number taken away, and how many are left before the pictures are drawn. Cross Out fades and crosses the removed pictures. Take Away moves them into a dashed tray. Child Crosses Out leaves the pictures unmarked so the child does the crossing.
