Subtraction

Subtraction is the opposite of addition. Subtraction means you are taking away a certain amount (the amount you’re subtracting). When we first think about subtraction, we can think about it as counting backwards (just like we counted forwards when we added numbers together).

In this section, you will learn how to subtract one digit minus one digit numbers, how to subtract without borrowing, and finally how to subtract with borrowing. We'll take you through it step-by-step and soon you will be subtracting with ease!
