What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Count the cupcakes on the gray tray and color the white tray that has one less cupcake. The directions on the page read: Count the cupcakes on the gray tray. Look at the two white trays next to it. Color the tray that has one less cupcake. The page opens with a worked example.
Can I use this one more and one less worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool number order, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with one more and one less. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
