Subtract means take some away.
The difference is what is left.
There are 5 apples. 2 are taken away. Count back: 5, 4. 3 are left.
Taking away makes a number smaller, so you count back, not on.
You start at 5, the number you have, not at 1.
2 taken away from 5 leaves 3 apples on the tray.
Start with what you have. Count back.
Saying 2, the ones taken away, for how many are left.
Count what is still there: 3 apples.
5 − 1 = ___ — 4. Count back 1 from 5: 4.
Let's subtract! Imagine you have five shiny apples.
Here they are — one, two, three, four, five.
Now you give two apples to a friend. How many do you have left?
We can write this as five minus two.
Take away the first apple.
Take away the second apple.
Now let's count what's left — one, two, three.
Five minus two equals three.
Five take away two is three. You have three apples left. Great subtracting!
