Topic A: Subtraction

 

 

Subtraction takes an amount away from another amount. The result of subtraction is called the difference.

 

The minus sign ─ means to subtract.

 

 

says nine minus three equals six or nine take away three is six The difference between 9 and 3 is 6.

 

Subtraction is the opposite of addition. Look at the examples:

 

5 + 4 = 9 4 + 5 = 9	9 – 4 = 5 9 – 5 = 4	8 + 3 11	11 ─ 3 8
		3	11
		+ 8 11	─ 8 3

 

Subtraction facts are a tool that you will use to do subtraction questions.

 

 

 

Exercise OneCheck out your subtraction facts by doing this exercise as

quickly as you can. Use your addition facts to help find the subtraction facts. Check your work using the answer key at the end of the exercise. Then, make a list of any subtraction facts you do not know or which are slow for you and practice them.

Need some extra practice? Find a partner and play this card game. Using a regular deck of cards, a jack will be eleven, a queen will be twelve and a king will be thirteen. Shuffle the cards and deal them out. Keep your cards in a pile in front of you. Each player flips over a card. Take turns subtracting the numbers on the cards. If the person gets the right answer that person gets to keep the cards. If the person gets the wrong answer the other player gets the cards. The person who collects all the cards is the winner. You could also set a time limit and the person with the most cards when time is up is the winner.

Subtracting Across

 

So far you have only been subtracting numbers when they are up and down or vertical.

Example:9

─ 5

4

 

Another way to subtract numbers is across or horizontally.

 

Example:9 ─ 5 = 4

 

When you subtract numbers across, you work from left to right.

Word Problems

 

Learning subtraction facts is very important because once you know them all they become a tool to use when solving problems.

 

Words such as less than, minus, subtracted from, how many more, how much more, and difference tell you to subtract the numbers. Look for these words when reading word problems and underline them before trying to solve a problem.Circlethe information that is given.

 

 

used 7
Example:There were 14 nails in a box. Lu used 7 of them. How many nails were still in the box?

 

 

14 nails
There were box?

in a box. Lu

of them. How many nails were still in the

 

 

You have circled 14 nails and 7. This is the information you will use to find the answer.

 

You have underlined “How many”. These words tell you to subtract.

 

14 nails

— 7 nails

7 nails

underline the words that tell you to subtract. Circle

the information that is given. Check your work using the answer key at the end of the exercise. Have your instructor check your underlining and circling.

Topic B: Subtraction of Larger Numbers

 

 

You can find the difference between two large numbers using the basic subtraction facts you have been practicing. Always take away or subtract the number after the minus sign.

 

Use these steps to complete each subtraction question.

 

Step 1: Subtract the ones from the ones.

 

Step 2: Subtract the tens from the tens.

 

Step 3: Subtract the hundreds from the hundreds.

Example A:57

– 26

 

Step 1: Subtract the ones from the ones. 7 ones – 6 ones = 1 one

 

57

– 26

1

 

Write the answer in line with the ones in the question.

 

Step 2:Subtract the tens from the tens. 5 tens – 2 tens = 3 tens

 

57

– 26

31

 

The difference between 57 and 26 is 31.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example B:

628

─ 524

 

 

 

Step 1:Subtract the ones from the ones. 8 ones – 4 ones = 4 ones

 

628

─ 524

4

 

Write the answer in line with the ones in the question.

 

Step 2:Subtract the tens. 2 tens – 2 tens = 0 tens

 

628

─ 524

04

 

Write the answer in line with the tens in the question. The 0 must be placed in the answer to hold the tens place.

 

 

Step 3:Subtract the hundreds. 6 hundreds – 5 hundreds = 1 hundred

 

628

─ 524

104

 

Write the answer in line with the hundreds in the question. The difference between 628 and 524 is 104.
