Subtract Numbers: Lesson 2: Subtraction with Fun

Welcome to Lesson 2: Subtraction with Fun! Today, we’re going to make subtraction even more enjoyable and exciting.

1. Exploring Big Numbers: Just like we added big numbers, we can subtract them too! Imagine you have 15 cookies, and you want to share 7 with your friends. To determine how many cookies you have left, subtract 7 from 15. So, 15 – 7 equals 8. You have 8 cookies left for yourself!

2. Money Matters: Subtraction can also help you manage your money. If you have $20 and spend $8 on a toy, you can subtract 8 from 20. So 20-8 equals 12 which means you have $12 left.

3. Word Problems: Subtraction can solve exciting word problems. For example, “You have 12 colorful balloons, and you give 5 to your friend. How many balloons do you have left?” Reading the problem and using subtraction helps you find the answer.

4. Sharing with Friends: Subtraction can help you divide things evenly among friends. If you have 16 candies and want to share them with 4 friends, subtracting 16 by 4 shows that each friend gets 4 candies.

5. Solving Puzzles: Subtraction is like solving puzzles where you figure out what’s missing or what’s left.

Remember, subtraction is like a secret code that helps you take things away and solve all sorts of interesting problems. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a subtraction superstar, ready to tackle even more exciting math challenges! Subtraction is all about making numbers work for you, and it can be tons of fun.
