Learning objective

What this activity builds

Practice subtraction within a chosen number range, using a unique-set preset when a non-repeating set is needed.

Worked example

Within 12, what is 12 − 7?

5

Seven and five combine to make twelve, so removing seven from twelve leaves five.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count
