Learning To Subtract

i wish this was my idea.  it actually came out of my singapore math workbook for my oldest.  i drew the rabbit on an envelope the boys colored the rabbit.  then i drew the carrots on my oldest’s card and he numbered them.  on my 4 year old’s i wrote the numbers and drew the carrots – way cute – i didn’t upload those pics, though!  they cut the cards and the envelope flap off.  and then we slid the carrots into the envelope (the rabbit’s mouth) while saying the subtracting math problems.  we all loved it!  this math series is awesome!
