  1. I thought this was very creative.A way you can make subtraction easier is if you put the bigger number on top.I think subtraction is if you take one number and take it away from another number and get a answer.You can take away whatever you need when counting or subtracting bills.I learned how to subract in 1st grade.

  2. Subtraction helps you find out how many are left or difference between two things. I can use subtraction on money to find out how much I have left in change or how many cookies are left. I learned how to subtract in 1st grade. To be creative, if its 12-9 all I do is find out what 9+_=12.

  3. I think that subtraction is a larger number taking away a smaller number out of its deal of numbers to get your final result. You cann use subtraction in your daily life like say if you were checking your check book. You might have to subtract what what you spent from what you had already without a calculator. I believe I learned how to subtract when I was in either kindergarten or first grade.As far as I can remember I have no creative ways to make subtraction easier. 126
    - 52=74

  5. Subtraction to me is the way you take things away. You can use subtraction in your everyday life by if you worked you would have to use math and may be the payments have goten lower you would need to find out how low they have goten. I learned how to subtract at the end of Pre-K. I can not think of a way to make subtraction easier.126 - 52 = 74.

  6. I really dont like subtraction but if you were in Mr.Toms class he made it easy to do.
    its like the way Mrs. Waites taught you I learned it in that class. Like the Regular way. theres all kinds of ways and thats why subtraction isn't hard anymore. I learned how to subtractrct in kindergarten. I raelly wasn't a fan subtraction but now I like it becase Mrs. Waites taught it to us fun. Mrs. Waites you're my favorite teacher from the other teachers that I've been in and you're also sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!
