Taking Away Every Day

When we subtract

We take away all the time — eating, giving, losing, spending!
🍬 Eating some of your sweets
🎁 Giving a toy to a friend
🐦 Birds flying away
💰 Spending some pennies

We take away when we eat 🍬, give 🎁, or spend 💰! Subtraction tells us how many are left. Along with adding, it is one of the two most useful maths skills of all.
