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.
