Hey there! Are you ready to learn something fun? Today, we are going to talk about subtraction. Subtraction is when we take away some things to see how many are left. Let’s learn how to subtract with some yummy cupcakes!
Do you see this symbol? It’s called the minus sign, and it helps us subtract. Imagine you have three cupcakes. If you eat one, how many are left? Let’s find out!
First, we had three cupcakes. You ate one, so we take one away from three. Now, there are two cupcakes left. So, three minus one equals two. Great job!
Let’s try another one. This time, there are five cupcakes, and you eat three. If we take away three from five, how many are left? Yes, there are two cupcakes left! Five minus three equals two.
Are you ready for more? There were seven cupcakes on the table, and you ate four. If we take away four from seven, how many do we have now? That’s right, three cupcakes are left! Seven minus four equals three.
Let’s remember what we learned today:
Wow, you did an amazing job with subtraction! Now you know how to take away and see what’s left. Isn’t that fun?

Keep practicing and have fun subtracting!
Cupcake Subtraction Game: Gather some toy cupcakes or use paper cutouts. Start with a certain number of cupcakes, like five. Ask the children to “eat” (remove) a specific number of cupcakes and then count how many are left. Repeat with different numbers. This hands-on activity helps children visualize subtraction in a fun and engaging way.
Subtraction Story Time: Create a short story involving dinosaurs and cupcakes. For example, “There were six dinosaurs at a party, and each one ate a cupcake. How many cupcakes are left?” Encourage the children to draw pictures to illustrate the story and solve the subtraction problem. This activity combines creativity with math skills.
Subtraction Walk: Take a walk around the classroom or playground and find objects to subtract. For instance, if there are eight leaves on the ground and you pick up three, ask the children how many are left. This encourages them to apply subtraction in real-world settings and observe their surroundings.

Hey! What’s the matter? I see you’re worried. Do you know what all those lines are for?
You don’t? They’re the subtraction symbol, the minus sign. Do you know how to subtract? Don’t worry, I’ll teach you how!
Whoa! These cupcakes look awesome! Are you hungry? Come on, don’t be shy—have one!
In one bite, you’re never full! Do you know you’ve just done a subtraction without realizing it? We subtract to know how many things we have left after taking some away, just like you did with these cupcakes.
For example, before there were three cupcakes on the table, and you’ve eaten one. So if we take one away from three, there will be one and two cupcakes left. Three minus one equals two.
Well done! We have done our first subtraction. See how easy it was? Yum! These cupcakes are mouth-watering!
But wait! You’ve subtracted again without realizing it. This time there were five cupcakes, and you’ve eaten three. So if we take away three from five, there will be one and two cupcakes left. Five minus three equals two.
Awesome! Are you still hungry?

There’s nothing we can do with you! On the table, there were seven cupcakes, and you’ve eaten four of them. If we take away four from seven, the result is one, two, and three. Seven minus four equals three.
Good job! Do you like subtracting? I told you there were too many cupcakes!
Well, let’s recap the subtractions we practiced today. All right, we can also do horizontal subtractions. It’s done in the same way. Pay attention: three minus one equals two.
Awesome! Let’s do the next one. If I take away three cupcakes from these five cupcakes, I will be left with one and two cupcakes. Five minus three equals two.
Excellent! Shall we try the last one? If I take away four cupcakes from seven cupcakes, I will be left with one, two, and three. Seven minus four equals three.
Well done! Now you know how to subtract! Are you feeling better?
