Subtraction can be a difficult concept for children to grasp. It may seem simple to some that when something is “taken away” then there is something leftover, but what helps even more is having a visual! At least that’s the type of learner I am anyway! To visually see an object being removed or “taken away” definitely helps children understand the concept of subtraction. These adorable Bug Subtraction Cards are the perfect tool for children to practice subtraction!
I would suggest using these Bug Subtraction Cards with K-1 students. You can use them as a stand-alone math center or pull kids for small group work.
I like to laminate the cards so they are more durable and last longer. It also gives children a chance to use dry erase markers, which always makes them extra excited to get down to work!
Let’s Get Started!
Simply print, laminate, and cut the cards apart. Include a basket of dry erase markers and an eraser.
You are all set to have a math activity where children can visually see each part of a subtraction math equation!

I like the cards . In the next two weeks I will be introducing Subtraction to my Kindergarteners. The cards will come in handy for follow up exercises.
I think these cards can be used at home also when parents start teaching their children. As these have lot of images, this will keep the child entertained and busy
