Twenty taking away facts within 10, such as 9 − 4, with each answer written in a bauble. Every problem starts from 10 or less and never goes below zero, and none takes away everything, so each answer is at least 1. It is the partner of the Christmas addition sheet: children who know 5 + 4 = 9 can use it to find 9 − 4.

Tips for this Christmas worksheet

  • Use counters: put out the first number, take away the second, count what is left.
  • Check each answer by adding back: 9 − 4 = 5 because 5 + 4 = 9.
  • Colour the baubles that were right first time.
