Imagine you have 6 delicious strawberries on your plate, and you eat 2 of them for a snack.
When we subtract, we start with a whole group and take some away to see how many are left.

Subtracting from Six

Let's find out how many strawberries are left by solving 6−26 - 2.
You had 6, crossed out 2, and 4 are left, so 6−2=46 - 2 = 4.
Did you know that addition can secretly help you solve subtraction in a flash?

Think Addition to Subtract

When you see a mystery like 6−4=?6 - 4 = ?, flip it around and ask: "What number plus 4 makes 6?"
Since you already know that 4+2=64 + 2 = 6, you instantly know that 6−4=26 - 4 = 2!
What happens if we add one more to start with, giving us a whole group of 7?
