Let's learn to take away and subtract!
Subtraction means taking things away! When we subtract, we remove some things and count how many are left.
We use the minus sign (-) to show subtraction. The answer we get is called the DIFFERENCE!
Let's watch a fun video about subtraction!
5 cookies - 2 cookies = ?
5 - 2 = 3
4 balloons - 1 balloon = ?
4 - 1 = 3
Try subtracting numbers yourself! (Choose numbers 0-10)
When we subtract zero (0) from any number, the number stays the same!
5 - 0 = 5 ✨
Also, when we subtract a number from itself, we always get zero!
5 - 5 = 0 🎉
Try these problems:
• 3 - 1 = ?
• 5 - 2 = ?
• 4 - 4 = ?
• 6 - 3 = ?
• 7 - 0 = ?
✓ Subtraction means taking away
✓ We use the - sign
