1
Which items are in pairs of two?
Choose them.
2
Choose the next number for each number.
3
Match the correct numbers to the objects.
4
Choose the neighboring numbers.
5

7
Look at the sheep that are in one pen.
There are three sheep here.
Let's move one sheep to the second pen.
There are two sheep left in the first pen.
In math, taking away part of the objects is called subtraction.
Subtraction equations are written using the minus sign.
The equation is read like this:
three minus one equals two
or three take away one is two.
Let's do the task together.
Let's write the equation using numbers and a schematic picture.
Look at the screen. Here are three cows.
Then two cows went home.
There is one cow left in the field.
So three minus two equals one.
Let's drag the needed numbers to the correct fields.
Do the next tasks by yourself.
