Modeling Subtraction: Overview
Subtraction involves three different types of situations. 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.

Addition & Subtraction Games
Students place markers on the numbers 2-12. Students toss two 6-sided dice, find the sum and remove a marker from that number, if there is still one. The first player to remove all markers wins the game. This game can be used as addition practice or as an introduction to the probability of the different outcomes of rolling two dice.
