Key notes :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd22 What is Subtraction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtraction means taking away<\/strong> some objects from a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: \ud83c\udf4e\ud83c\udf4e\ud83c\udf4e\ud83c\udf4e \u2013 2\ud83c\udf4e = 2\ud83c\udf4e left<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f Look at the Picture Carefully<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count all the objects first<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice how many are taken away<\/strong> or missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2796 Writing the Subtraction Sentence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtraction sentences are written like this:
Total \u2013 Taken away = Left<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 5 \u2013 2 = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf6a Example with Objects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture shows 7 cookies<\/strong>, 3 are eaten<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtraction sentence: 7 \u2013 3 = 4<\/strong> \ud83c\udf6a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa8 Use Real-Life Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toys, fruits, pencils, or animals can be used in pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 10 pencils \u2013 6 pencils = 4 pencils \u270f\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd0d Check Your Counting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always count twice<\/strong> to make sure your subtraction is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Tip for Word Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the picture shows how many left<\/strong>, start with the total<\/strong> and subtract the taken away<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 12 balloons, 5 fly away \u2192 12 \u2013 5 = 7 \ud83c\udf88<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccf Practice Up to 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All subtraction sentences in this topic are numbers from 1 to 18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: 15 \u2013 7 = 8, 18 \u2013 9 = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcdd Steps to Solve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count all objects in the picture \u2705<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count the objects taken away \u274c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtract taken away from total \u2796<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write the subtraction sentence \u270f\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf89 Fun Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draw your own pictures and make subtraction sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use stickers, emojis, or small objects to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn with an example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
