- Word problems on comparing situations.
Introduction:
There are eight birds on a tree.
3 birds flew away.
How many birds are left on the tree?
Use cubes to find.
8 is whole.
Now we need to take 3 from 8.
Subtract 3 from 8, we get
8 – 3 = ____
Now write the difference between the numbers.
Subtraction equation is
8 – 3 = 5
There are 5 birds left on the tree.
There are 10 books in a bag.
4 books are taken out.
How many books are left in the bag?
Use cubes to find.
10 is whole.
Now we need to take 4 from 10
Subtract 4 from 10, we get
10 – 4 = ____
Now write the difference between the numbers.
Subtraction equation is
10 – 4 = 6
There are 6 books left in the bag.
