This Kindergarten Medium 3 worksheet grows subtraction within 5 fluency with everyday take away stories. Learners read short scenes about cookies eaten, fish hiding, and balloons popping, then fill in answers and match each story to its equation. Kindergarten students practice connecting words to symbols, seeing how the start, the part removed, and the difference fit together. Picture friendly contexts make subtraction feel real, playful, and approachable.

Subtraction within 5 Fluency
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Sam had 5 cookies and ate 1. Cookies left = 4
2. 4 fish swam, 2 hid. Fish seen = 2
3. 5 balloons, 3 popped. Left = 2
4. 3 - 1 = 2
5. Mia had 4 apples and gave 4 away. Left = 0
6. 5 - 0 = 5
7. 2 ducks, 1 swam off. Ducks left = 1
8. 5 - 2 = 3
9. 4 - 3 = 1
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
5 cookies, eat 2
→ 5 - 2 = 3
5 - 2 = 3
4 fish, 1 hides
→ 4 - 1 = 3
4 - 1 = 3
5 balloons, 5 pop
→ 5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
3 ducks, 0 leave
→ 3 - 0 = 3
3 - 0 = 3
