How to do it
- Read how many go away.
- Cross that many off.
- Count what is left and write it.
Teaching tip
Cross off from the end of the row so the ones left are easy to count. This sheet is aligned with Common Core K.OA.A.2.

About this worksheet
Six picture boxes where some bugs fly away, fish swim away or cupcakes get eaten. Kids cross off and write how many are left.
What kids practice
Adding means putting groups together to find how many in all. Taking away means some leave and you find how many are left. Kindergartners solve small problems within 10 with pictures and objects, and start to read and write number sentences with +, - and =.
Watch for
- Counting the crossed-off pictures as still there.
- Adding when the story says some went away.
- Starting the count over from 1 every time instead of counting on.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full adding and taking away within 10 guide for kindergarten.
