Subtraction

Subtraction is a process which most children learn quite naturally as soon as they learn to start counting. During kindergarten and first grade, it is really important for kids to have the chance to work practically with their math.

An example might be that a child has 10 sweets. They give 3 to their teddy. How many do they have left? What if they gave another to their teddy? What if their teddy had 8 sweets, how many would be left for them?

Later on, when children are confident Subtracting practically, they can progress on to number lines or counting back in their heads. When children have understood this, they can begin to learn their Subtraction facts and progress on to column Subtraction. At 4th and 5th grade level, they start Subtracting decimals.

Knowing your Subtraction facts is still a key skill that children need to be able to use in real life math - you may not always have a pencil and paper to hand to do your column Subtraction, but you will always have your Subtraction facts!
