How Can You Help?

• Show your child the number buttons on the keyboard. Encourage him

or her to use them as a number line when finding the difference be-

tween two numbers.

• Have your child use tangible objects such as pennies, beans, blocks,

etc. to show the numbers being subtracted. This should be helpful in

finding the difference.

• When your child is playing the activity, encourage him or her to tell a

story problem to go along with the subtraction equation.
