About

Count back with Rocco the raccoon, then play Check It Off: Rocco picks two number cards, and your child writes the take-away sentence and finds the difference. Grade 1 children subtract within 10, learn that a subtraction starts with the number you take away from, show 7 take away 3 with counters on a 10-frame, and write an addition and a take-away sentence for one dot picture. Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint and another try.
