Up, Up and Take Away - Worksheet

This worksheet, designed by Teacher of Primary, is an educational resource aimed at helping young learners to practice subtraction within 20. It utilises a number line as a visual aid to assist students in solving a series of subtraction problems. The worksheet presents a straightforward format where children are given two numbers and are required to find the difference by subtracting the smaller number from the larger one. The problems range from simple single-digit subtractions to more complex ones that involve crossing the ten boundary.

The subtraction problems are set out in a clear and uncomplicated manner, making it easy for students to work through. For example, they are asked to calculate the results of 7 minus 3, 9 minus 1, and so on, up to 18 minus 9.
