Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Subtraction within 100 (1)

In this Year 2 maths exercise from Max Maths, children are encouraged to practice subtraction within 100 through hands-on activities. The first task presents a story problem where Padma has a book with 88 pages and reads 35 pages over the weekend. Students are asked to determine how many pages Padma has left to read. To find the answer, they are instructed to visually cross out blocks that represent the number of pages read, which helps them understand the concept of subtraction by taking away. After crossing out the blocks, they need to complete the subtraction sentence by filling in the blanks with the correct numbers and then write down the number of pages left to read.

The second activity involves a visual representation of subtraction using beads. Students are given the numbers 83 and 21 and are tasked with finding the difference between them. They are provided with a tens and ones chart to help conceptualize the subtraction process. By crossing out the orange and blue beads that represent the numbers, children can visually see the subtraction process and work out the answer. They are guided to cross out a total of 64 beads to find the difference, reinforcing their understanding of subtraction within 100. This hands-on approach to subtraction is designed to make learning interactive and engaging for young students.
