Jungle Subtraction Worksheet, Cross Out and Find the Difference

Crossed-out elephants and bunches of bananas make the jungle subtraction worksheet a surprisingly concrete way to show kids what ‘taking away’ actually means.

Five color-bordered rows fill the page, each one a self-contained subtraction problem built from jungle pictures rather than abstract symbols. Elephants (5 minus 2), lions (4 minus 1), monkeys (6 minus 2), tropical leaves (7 minus 3), and bananas (8 minus 4) appear in sequence, with the animals or objects being subtracted already crossed out in red. A number box sits beneath each group, a minus sign and equals sign separate the parts, and a dashed-line answer box waits at the right edge of every row.

This jungle subtraction worksheet is part of the Homeschool collection and works best as a guided first pass through the cross-out method, where a child points to each image, counts what remains, and writes the difference in the box. The answer boxes are roomy enough for early writers still forming numerals, and the pre-crossed images mean no scissors or prep work before the lesson begins.

Elephants, lions, monkeys, leaves, and bananas make this jungle subtraction worksheet a vivid introduction to taking away. Free instant download.

Usage Notes

Gel pens or chunky markers suit the large answer boxes well, and darker ink colors show up clearly against the white background without bleeding through standard copy paper. Pencil is a sensible choice if you want the child to self-correct and reuse the sheet multiple times without printing again. Lamination over a single printed copy lets a dry-erase marker do the job indefinitely, which suits the repetitive practice this format is built for.

Printing Tips

One copy per sitting works for most learners, but printing four or five at once saves you from returning to the printer mid-week. Standard 75 gsm copy paper is fine for single use, though 90 gsm card stock holds up better if you plan to slip the sheet into a page protector for repeated dry-erase practice.
