Glue One Less Leaf on the Branch

Read the Instructions aloud and act out the Example with real objects first. Ask 'how many now?' after each change, and use the 'one more' pages before the 'one less' pages.

Cut out 9 leaves, glue one less leaf on each bare branch and circle how many you glued. The directions on the page read: Cut out the 9 leaves at the bottom. Count the leaves on each branch. Glue one less leaf on the bare branch next to it. Circle how many leaves you glued. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

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.

18 printable worksheets, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
