Subtraction using number lines - PowerPoint 40-60 months This powerpoint can be used to support the teaching of ‘Number’ targeted towards the 40-60 month age band. www.earlybirdyeducation.com

Teachers tip: This can be used to support subtraction. Read the number sentence and refer to the number line. Emphasise which way we need to go (backwards=less). Now use the number line to solve the simple subtraction problems. Why not make your own individual number lines and get the children to solve the problem alongside you. www.earlybirdyeducation.com
