# Subtraction task sheets

Taking away with the farmyard stories: carrots, pears and cookies disappear from the basket – with the question from the video, five more tasks, a brain teaser and the answers.

## What do the sheets practise?

Subtracting within 20: taking some away from a group, finding the difference, and the link between subtraction and addition. Every task tells a small story, so the numbers mean something.

## Tip for home

Let your child count what is left on the picture before writing the number sentence. The first task repeats the video question; the answers are on page two.
