Tuesday: Take away in a story

Chris the Coyote has 38 feathers in his hat box.

The wind blows, and 6 feathers float away into the trees.

"Oh no," says Chris, "but I can still count the rest."

Bennie helps him think. "The group got smaller, so we subtract."

Learn it: take away

Chris has 38 feathers. 6 blow away.

The group gets smaller, so we subtract: 38 - 6 = ?

Start at 38 and hop back 6 on the number line.
