Apples left on the picnic mat

Taken away · Enzo’s basket

The picnic apples are ready. Move the apples away one at a time.

For grown-ups

This pilot models subtraction by taking away. Each press moves one existing apple from the picnic mat into Enzo’s basket. Removed apples stay visible in a clearly labelled separate place. Count only those left on the mat. Nothing disappears or duplicates, and the activity waits for every action.

Adult-review prototype · checks still needed
  • Teacher: check the take-away model, zero examples, number sentence, distractors and feedback.
  • Check children count only the remaining apples, and distinguish taking away from addition.
  • Review full audio, phone layout, keyboard/screen-reader use and contrast with learners.
  • Character likeness and curriculum placement remain under review.
