Can you tell your grown-up the number sentence for each picture? Remember: the big number comes first. (Click on the picture and it will enlarge).

Lesson 6:

I can subtract fluently within 5. (I can visualize the problem to help me subtract in my head.)

Close your eyes.  Imagine there are 4 squares.  Take away 2 squares.  How many squares are left?

Close your eyes.  Imagine there are 3 stars.  Take away 2 stars.  How many stars are left?
