Subtraction Word Problems to 10 | 50 Picture Story Problems | Kindergarten and 1st Grade Math

Ribbit — ESL/EFL Worksheet Resource

This 10-page set gives kindergarten and 1st grade learners 50 short subtraction word problems with numbers no bigger than 10, five per page. In each problem a small picture stands in for the noun ("Jen bought 5 [apples]. She ate 4 of them. How many does Jen have left?"), so children who are still learning to read can follow the story. Some problems end with a question and others with a sentence to complete ("There are __ left."), which gets children used to both forms. The characters change on every page (Max, Lily, Kate, Sam, Mia, Ben and others), and the stories cover baking, picking fruit, birds flying away, balloons popping and catching fish. Children show their work in the space under each problem.
