This easy sheet pairs with easy-1 but switches the focus to subtraction within 10. Children solve three take-away stories about Leo's stickers, cookies on a plate, and a farmer's eggs. The fill-in-the-blank part connects the phrases 'how many are left' and 'gave away' to the subtract action, and the true-or-false question checks whether 8 minus 3 really equals 4.
It builds the language of subtraction before mixing operations.
