Bead Bar Subtraction - Simple

The color bead bar subtraction aims to help children visualize and understand subtraction through hands-on manipulation of materials, promoting a concrete grasp of numbers and mathematical operations.

This bead bar subtraction work includes 54 equations with the differences not being greater than 9 (static subtraction).

Includes:

• 6 pages (54 equations; 9 per page) in black and white
• 6 pages (54 equations; 9 per page) in color
• instructions

This work can be completed without using the bead bars during the lesson. However, it is more effective and offers a greater sensorial experience for the child if they can physically touch and manipulate the bead bars. If you are using the bead bars to demonstrate the equation then you will need 1 set of the color bead stair and 1 set of the negative bead stair (dark grey/light grey).

The bead bars are colored according to traditional Montessori colors. If your bead bars have a different color scheme, you can use the black and white set and create a master copy that follows your own color scheme.

Pages print on letter-size paper (8½" x 11").
