What's on this worksheet

Starting numbers from 0 to 5. The answer is never negative. Each sheet comes with an answer key on a separate page.

Teaching tips

  • Act out each problem first: start with 5 blocks and take away 2.
  • Connect each fact to an addition fact children already know: 5 − 2 = 3 because 3 + 2 = 5.
