Parent Information:

Subtraction is generally more difficult for children to compute. When they learn to count they learn to count forward/up with the numbers increasing (related to addition), but learning to count backwards is generally not practiced until much later (related to subtraction). It is important that students practice counting backwards to help with their conceptualization of subtraction. This activity works on removing an object so students are forced to count backwards.

These activities meet the following standards:

Common Core Academic Standards: K.OA.A.2, K.OA.A.5, and K.OA.A.1

TESOL Standards: Goal 2, Standard 2 & 3 and Goal 3, Standard 1
