Becaue you can't remove, say, 4 cookies from 3. All this means is that if you have a bigger number and you need to subtract it form a smaller number you will need to borrow.
1. Subtraction is easily identified as a line for example like this: - 2. It is basically the opposite of addition. 3. The answer will only be a positive number if the top is bigger than the bottom. 4. If you know how to subtract from 0-9 than you will know how to subtract higher numbers. 5. Subtraction is one of the first things you will learn. 6. If you can't do subtraction you will be confused with other maths. 7. Subtraction is one of the main 4 processes of calculation.
The number of the sub you do first
the difference
No, subtraction is not a short cut for additon. In addition, you add numbers to another number to make it bigger. For example, adding 2 to 3 gives you 5. You can see that 5 is bigger than 2 and 3. However, for subtraction, you take away numbers to make a number smaller. If you take away 2 from 5, you get 3. As you can see, 3 is smaller than 5, which proves that subtraction makes a number smaller.
