What children learn in Level 37

5 lightning bugs were in a jar. Ava opened the lid, and 2 flew out. 3 are still in the jar!
On a five frame, cross out the ones that go away. Count the ones left.
Fingers work too. Hold up 5 and put 3 down. 2 are still up: 5 minus 3 is 2.
If you take away all of them, there are none left. 3 minus 3 is 0.
Your turn! Start at 4. Tap the number line to count back 2.
Try it with a grown-up! Line up 5 toys. The grown-up hides some while you close your eyes. How many are left?
