Prepare children for using a number line to subtract with this Year 1 Subtraction on a Number Line Prior Learning resource. This activity covers the Reception objective of subtracting two single-digit numbers using quantities and objects, which will prepare children for the more abstract representation of the number line.

Use this resource to check pupils' understanding of subtraction using concrete objects before moving them on. We've included an 'advice and ideas' section to provide guidance on setting up. Enjoy!
