Here is one way to teach subtraction using simple story problems and small objects or "counters" like beans. The teacher tells some stories involving subtracting or "taking away" and uses beans to represent the objects. The students count out the beginning number of beans with her, and then count out with her how many are taken away or subtracted. Then they count the number left over.
