Modeling Subtraction: Overview

The first, and the easiest for children to learn, is separation, or taking away, in which one quantity is taken away from another to find out what is left. The second is comparison, in which two quantities are compared to find the difference. The third is part-whole, in which the quantity in the whole set and one part are known, and may be used to find out how many are in the unknown part.

Early instruction should provide many opportunities for children to explore the three types of subtraction situations. Children learn the meaning of subtraction through concrete experiences and then learn to record subtraction in horizontal and vertical forms. Children were introduced to subtraction in Kindergarten and have experience with separating and comparing groups.

Subtraction is the inverse of addition, and although it is a different concept, it may be taught by using similar materials, models, and methods. Adding and Subtracting.
