What this worksheet covers

Grade: Grade 1 (Elementary School)
Topic: Subtraction up to 10
Worksheet: Subtraction up to 10

Subtractions whose starting number runs from 6 to 10 are gathered here, including forms that take away from ten, such as 10 - 4. Calculation brings these close to the point where the answer can simply be recalled, and the same pairs of numbers come round again in Fill in the Blank and in both kinds of Word Problems.

While it is still unclear what is left when a number is taken from ten, the hand stops and the fingers come out for a recount. Working out 8 - 3 by tracing the numbers that lie between 8 and 3 keeps producing an answer one too large, because of where the count began.

Subtracting 0 comes next and divides into two shapes, one where the number taken away is zero and one where nothing is left. Worth settling here is the expectation that the procedure holds good even as the starting number grows as far as ten.
