Max Maths, Year 2, Work Book Subtraction within 100

The Max Maths Work Book for Year 2 offers engaging subtraction practice within 100, designed to strengthen young learners' arithmetic skills. In Practice 1, students are tasked with visually representing the process of subtraction by crossing out counting blocks. This hands-on approach helps to solidify their understanding of subtracting smaller numbers from larger ones within the two-digit range. For example, in problem (a), students would start with 47 counting blocks and cross out 13 to find the answer. Similarly, in problem (b), they would begin with 75 blocks and cross out 22 to determine the result of the subtraction.

Continuing with this interactive method, the workbook presents further subtraction problems across pages 48 to 50. Each problem encourages students to actively engage with the concept of subtraction by visual manipulation of counting blocks. Problems range from subtracting mid-range numbers, such as in (c) 68 − 34, to more challenging subtractions involving higher numbers and larger differences, like in (e) 98 − 71. This practice not only reinforces the concept of subtraction but also aids in developing the students' ability to perform mental arithmetic and enhances their problem-solving skills. By the end of the exercise, students will have completed a series of subtraction problems, providing them with a solid foundation in understanding and applying subtraction within 100.
