Description

The differentiated Subtraction Stories worksheets will help your students identify word problems. Students read the subtraction number story then interpret it into an equation, model on a number line and finally draw a visual example. Some worksheets also feature number bonds as an alternative representation of part part whole modelling. Use the 9 levelled worksheets so all students can complete the same task and feel success in their learning.

Use as a whole class or numeracy rotations activity.
