        Subtraction as Taking Away                                                    Fact-o-meter

        Subtraction  means  to  take away  objects                                  The  answer  we  get
        from  a  group.  It  is  shown  by  the  sign  ‘–’                          after  subtraction  is

        which is called minus.                                                      called difference.


         Cross out, say and write.








                                                   9    –    2     =


        From 9, cross out 2 and count the remaining.

        We say, 9 minus 2 equals to 7 and write as                                9    –    2     =    7


        From 9, take away 3.









                                                   9    –    3     =    6


        We read it as 9 minus 3 equals to 6.


        From 7, take away 2.








                                                   7    –    2     =    5


        We read it as 7 minus 2 equals to 5.




         Cross out and count to subtract. One has been done for you.






             7  –  5                                                                   7  –  5  =  2
