Lesson 51 of 180
Concept
Start with dots in a ten frame, then remove some dots.
Example: 10 - 6 • Put 10 dots in the frame • Cross out 6 dots • 4 dots remain So, 10 - 6 = 4
You can also use two frames for numbers bigger than 10.
Try it
Use ten-frame thinking: 1. 9 - 4 = ? 2. 10 - 7 = ? 3. 8 - 3 = ? 4. 14 - 5 = ? 5. 16 - 6 = ?
