Welcome, young mathematicians! Today, we are going to embark on a magical adventure where we will explore the enchanting world of subtraction!
Imagine you're a brave explorer in a mystical forest, where numbers come to life and every subtraction problem is a treasure map leading you to hidden gems! Are you ready to join me on this exciting journey? Let’s get started!
Picture this: As we walk through the magical forest, we see a sparkling stream filled with vibrant flowers. Suddenly, we spot a friendly squirrel named Sammy! Sammy has a basket full of delicious acorns, but he needs our help to figure out how many he has left after sharing with his friends.
Let’s help Sammy!
Sammy starts with 12 acorns in his basket. He invites 4 of his squirrel friends to join him for a picnic. Each friend gets 1 acorn.
Let’s work together to find out how many acorns Sammy has left!
To help Sammy, we can set up our subtraction problem like this:
Now, let’s write our subtraction sentence:
12 - 4 = ?
After we solve this problem, we’ll have the answer, and together, we can help Sammy go on his picnic happily!
Let’s make sure to remember our magical journey through subtraction as we solve more problems today. Every step will lead us closer to finding more treasures in the world of numbers!
