Early subtraction worksheet for Reception that helps children count back by 2 from small amounts using pictures.
The 2 less worksheet shows groups of objects on the page and asks children to cross out two of them, then count the remaining objects and write the number in the box. The pictorial approach builds the foundation for later subtraction work by linking the action of taking away with the language of 2 less and a written number answer.
Useful for daily maths practice at home, EYFS small group work or as a warm up before the children move on to subtracting larger amounts. Pairs with the wider counting and subtraction work in the EYFS maths worksheets for ages 4 to 5. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
