A note for parents

Subtracting means taking some away. Crossing out pictures makes the idea concrete before any equations.

Act it out with real objects first.
Cross out slowly, counting how many.
Count what is left.

Choose "Actual size" or "100%" when printing. A4 is 210 x 297 mm; US Letter is 8.5 x 11 in. The black-and-white version uses less ink.
