Grade 3 - Subtraction- Subtracting by Using Addition on the Number Line

In this video, we'll discuss a strategy that makes subtraction more approachable for students, especially those who might prefer addition. We'll explore how subtraction is the inverse operation of addition and how using tools like a number line can help visualize and solve subtraction problems.

By "counting up" or "counting forward," students can add to reach the target number, making subtraction feel more like addition. This visual and conceptual approach helps students understand the difference between numbers, making subtraction less intimidating and more intuitive.
