Students use counting back, drawing a picture to cross out objects, or using a number line to find the difference between two single-digit numbers.
How can teachers scaffold these worksheets for students who struggle with subtraction?⌄
Providing counters or linking cubes allows students to act out the story physically, making the taking-away concept tangible before moving to abstract equations.
