Getting better at subtraction

Column subtraction with borrowing is where most of the errors live. The classic one is not arithmetic but direction: seeing 3 − 7 in the ones column, finding it impossible, and quietly answering 4. Every answer can be checked by adding it back to the number subtracted, and building that habit matters more than any single fact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my child find subtraction harder than addition?
Addition can be solved by counting everything; subtraction cannot. It also has no commutative shortcut — 9 − 4 and 4 − 9 differ — so every fact must be learned in the right direction or derived from a known addition fact.
