Apple Subtraction Story Problems Math Printables Post Preview: Use these free printable math tasks cards for kindergarten and 1st grade students to work on basic subtraction story problems that also have helpful pictures.


Story problems. It’s a phrase that sends a chill down the spines of many a math student. Math can feel a lot easier when you’re just given some numbers already written out as a problem.

Working on story problems is so important though of course. In life, we’re rarely given our math problems nicely written out. Most of the math we solve outside of math class and math assignments are story problems. 

Today I’m sharing a free packet of twelve Apple-themed Subtraction Math Task Cards. These task cards are great for those just beginning to work on subtraction story problems since there are helpful pictures for solving the problems.

These pages can also be used as worksheets instead of task cards.

Apple Subtraction Story Problems Printables: Math Task Cards for Kindergarten to 1st Grade

This apple-themed subtraction story problem printable set works on simple story problems to help kids get used to solving them.

Each story problem is set up in the same way to help kids know what to anticipate. Since repetition is very helpful when learning new concepts, this predictability is perfect for students just beginning with subtraction story problems.

There are four subtraction problems on each page. Each problem has apple illustrations next to it to help students with the problem. For example, in a story problem that will be written as 4 – 1, there will be four whole apples and then one apple core.

The pages can either be used as worksheets or you can cut them apart to use them as subtraction math task cards.

How to Use Math Task Cards

Apple Subtraction Story Problem Math Task Card

Math task cards (and task cards of any other subjects) can be used in many different ways. Students can use them individually, with a partner, or in groups. Laminated task cards are great to use at stations, in file folders, or as something to work on at home.

Here are some great articles about ways to use task cards:

How to Use This Apple Math Task Cards Printable Set

You should print out the pages with the story problems on white printer paper or white cardstock.

If you would like to be able to reuse these math task cards, I recommend laminating the cards.


For easy storage, you could consider putting all of the cards in a large Ziploc bag or manilla envelope. If you are doing this option, you should definitely laminate the cards prior to storing them like that.

You could also make these math task cards into a file folder activity. Just paste or laminate each task card onto a file folder and keep a dry erase marker handy.
