Note — These exercises are intended for use with counters of some kind, – marbles, pebbles, kernels of corn, beans, or paper clips. The objects can be arranged in distinct groups, to represent each number indicated.

STEP 1

  • Show the picture and read the associated problems below aloud.
  • Direct children to mentally compute and recite the solutions.

STEP 2

  • If children have difficulties, practice the subtraction problems with physical objects such as coins, beans, or toys.
  • Once children master the problems with physical objects, have children retry the mental computation.
