This math topic focuses on subtraction skills involving borrowing (regrouping) with numbers less than 20. The problems encourage students to compare and subtract quantities represented visually, asking how many more of one specific item there are compared to another. Each question provides an image with colored geometric shapes, and students must calculate the difference between two types of these shapes. This is part of a broader unit on addition and subtraction of integers, specifically targeting one and two-digit numbers. Each problem presents multiple choice answers.
