What children learn in Level 32
- 8 ducks were swimming in the pond. 3 ducks swam away. Now 5 ducks are in the pond.
- You can act it out: hold up 8 fingers, then put 3 down. Count the fingers still up: 5!
- Your turn! There were 9 balloons, and 4 popped. Tap to count the balloons that are left.
- We can write the duck story like this: 8 minus 3 equals 5. The minus sign means take away.
- Try it with a grown-up! At snack time, count your crackers. Eat 2. How many are left?
