How to use these worksheets
The starting number is at most 10 and answers are never negative. Use physical objects for taking away, then connect that action to moving left on a number line.
Watch for this
Subtraction is not reversible like addition. Show why 9 - 4 means starting with 9, rather than starting with 4.
