EYFS subtraction worksheet that builds early take away 1 fluency using pictures of pears.
Children look at each group of pears, count how many there are, cross out one and write how many are left. The first example, 4 take away 1, is modelled to show the method, and the remaining problems give repeated practice taking away one from different starting amounts. The repetitive structure helps Reception children spot the pattern that taking away one means counting back one.
Useful for daily maths warm ups, parent-led practice at home or small group work in Reception. 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.
