Subtracting within 20 is a math concept that you will learn in 1st grade. It means that you will be practicing taking away one number from another, but only with numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
To practice subtracting within 20, you can use worksheets that have problems for you to solve. Each problem will have two numbers, and you will need to figure out what the answer is when you subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, if the problem is “14 – 5 =”, you will need to figure out what 14 minus 5 equals.
The worksheets will have pictures and numbers to help you understand the problems. You can use the pictures to help you count and figure out the answer. For example, if the problem is “16 – 8 =”, you can count eight dots or pictures and then subtract them from 16.
To use the worksheets, you can print them out and complete them with a pencil or crayon. You can ask an adult for help if you need it, and you can check your answers using the answer key that comes with the worksheets.
Remember to take your time and work through each problem carefully. Don’t worry if you make mistakes – that’s how we learn! With practice, you will become really good at subtracting within 20.
