Counting Strategies for Subtraction

The video tutorial covers subtraction strategies, focusing on the concepts of difference, subtrahend, and minuend. It introduces two main strategies for solving subtraction problems: counting back and counting up. The counting back strategy involves starting from the minuend and counting backwards by the subtrahend to find the difference. The counting up strategy involves starting from the subtrahend and counting up to the minuend, then determining the difference by counting the steps taken. The tutorial provides examples for each strategy to enhance understanding.
