Preschool Subtraction Pictures Worksheet
This Preschool subtraction pictures worksheet helps the child practice subtraction by taking away a smaller group from a larger group using pictures, not digits.
At age 5, this skill matters because counting is still becoming steady. A common snag is that five-year-olds can rush through counting, then get unsure which group to take away.
Use this page for shared work by doing the first row together: count the larger picture set, point to the smaller set to subtract, then count the remaining objects.
The worksheet is useful because each problem shows the “before” and “after” with real pictures, so the child can see how many are left connect to subtraction.
