Study snowflakes as you subtract in this wintery worksheet! Each problem shows a ten frame and a subtraction sentence. The ten frame is partially filled with snowflakes to match the minuend. Students will cross out the number of snowflakes being subtracted, then write the answer to complete the equation.

Using ten frames helps kindergarteners build a concrete understanding of subtraction. This visual guide supports students’ understanding that subtraction is taking away parts of a whole. By connecting the ten frame to the equation, early learners can see how the numbers in the equation represent specific values, which is vital in building number sense and subtraction fluency.
