Subtraction is the process of finding how many are left when some are taken away. It is the difference between two numbers.
Tips 1: If the numbers are too high or too difficult to subtract, write them down in columns. Separate the numbers into ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. List the numbers in a column and always start with the ones first.
Tips 2: Introduce story problems and vocabulary.
- Eat goldfish crackers or candy to really motivate kids.
- Use different manipulatives such as teddy bears to act out bears going away.
