Subtraction Action by Loreen Leedy introduces young readers to subtraction through fun scenarios and lively illustrations. The book presents subtraction as a practical skill, using everyday examples to show how taking away helps solve problems. It encourages kids to build confidence with numbers, fosters problem-solving abilities, and makes learning math an enjoyable, relatable experience.

Integrated into our homeschool curriculum, Subtraction Action serves as a helpful tool for developing strong math skills. Here are several ways we incorporate this resource:

• Interactive Read-Alouds: We encourage families to dive into Subtraction Action together, discussing its vibrant illustrations and problem-solving adventures.
• Hands-On Activities: Inspired by the book, our curriculum includes hands-on activities from measuring ingredients for a recipe to counting out change for a purchase. 
• Creative Writing Assignments: Students are prompted to create their own subtraction stories, drawing inspiration from the book.
• Mathematical Discussions: The book serves as a springboard for deeper discussions on subtraction concepts, strategies, and their applications. Families are encouraged to explore different subtraction methods and share their insights.
