Welcome in our Arithmetic/Subtraction section. We will pratice the subtraction. First, subtraction is used to take away a quantity from another.

 

Example:

 

How many pens are there if:

I have 4 and you

 

take away 1 = answer

 

I have 3 and you

 

take away 1 = answer

 

I have 3 and you

 

take away 2 = answer

 

I have 2 and you

 

take away 1 = answer
