Math: To add, we count up and add on. To subtract, we backwards count and take away. Review the slides, most of the slides will be familiar. Be careful, I did add in new slides here and there!

Start today by identifying the signs.

Now look at each slide. Identify the picture that represents subtraction of addition.

Next, look at each slide. Today, you are not going to solve the math equation. Instead:

Practice subtraction by counting backwards:
