How does subtraction work?

Subtraction means taking away a quantity or finding the difference between two quantities. Start with 34 counters and take away 24. You have 10 counters left.

Try it: enter 34 − 24, then select Show me with dots. The crossed-out dots show what is removed; the remaining dots show the difference.

Using place value, 34 − 20 = 14, then 14 − 4 = 10. You can check subtraction by adding: 10 + 24 = 34.

Just numbers, smiles, and a little ♥ for maths.
