Some Go Away

Take some away and count what's left, within 5.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child takes some away from a group of up to 5 and counts how many are left. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 30

There are 5 strawberries. Ava eats 2. How many are left?
Cover the 2 that are going away. Count the rest: 1, 2, 3. There are 3 left!
Your turn! There were 4 pretzels. 1 was sold. Tap to count the ones that are left.
Taking away makes fewer. If they all go away, there are zero left!
Try it with a grown-up! Put 4 toys in a row. Hide 2 behind your back. How many are still in the row?
