Answer in your own words. You can draw pictures to help you if you like.
1. If you have 7 pencils and give away 3, how many are left? Show your working.
2. Write your own subtraction sum using two numbers between 1 and 10, and solve it.
3. Why does the answer in subtraction always get smaller or stay the same, never bigger?
