Understanding Subtraction Concepts

This video tutorial teaches how to solve simple subtraction problems using visual aids like circles. It begins with an introduction to subtraction, explaining the concept of taking away a number from a group. The video then provides several examples, including 8 - 4, 9 - 2, 6 - 6, and 4 - 3, demonstrating each with drawn circles to visually represent the subtraction process. The tutorial emphasizes understanding subtraction by counting the remaining circles after some are removed.

What is the first step in solving a simple subtraction problem using drawings?

• Add the two numbers together.

• Subtract the second number from the first number directly.

• Draw the number of circles equal to the first number.

• Draw the number of circles equal to the second number.
