Introduction to the concept of Subtraction

With the help of the example shown complete the equations given below. Count the total number of apples hanging from the tree and write the value in the red colour circle. Now count the of apples detached from the write and write its value in the blue colour circle. Following the decomposition concept, reduce the second number from the first number and write the decomposed number value in the green colour circle. With the help of your teacher read the equation with symbol names, subtract and equals to.

On the sheet

Features three panels with apple trees to teach subtraction. The first panel is an example: 10 apples in total (8 on tree, 2 on the ground), represented as 10 - 2 = 8. The other panels show trees with apples on the branch and on the ground for children to write corresponding subtraction equations.
