Subtraction as taking away or separating

Mathematics · Addition & Subtraction · conceptual

Understand subtraction as taking away or separating from a group to find how many remain

What mastery looks like

  • Model 'taking away' with physical objects and say how many remain
  • Act out a 'take from' situation (e.g. 5 biscuits, eat 2, how many left?)
  • Explain that subtraction means finding how many are left

Check your understanding

If Subtraction as taking away or separating has 9 biscuits and eats 3, do they understand that subtracting means taking some away — and can they tell you 6 biscuits are left?
