While you are learning subtraction, you could use a subtraction table to help you. Simply "look up" the answer.
For example, here is a subtraction table up to six:
To subtract 5 - 1, start with the first number, the minuend "5". Find that row on the table.
Then move along to the "1" column.
You find the answer "4". So 5 - 1 = 4.
Give it a try with the table. Try subtracting the following problems. Then click each problem to check your answer.
| 6 - 3 | 6 - 3 = 3 |
| 5 - 2 | 5 - 2 = 3 |
| 4 - 3 | 4 - 3 = 1 |
| 4 - 4 | 4 - 4 = 0 |
| 2 - 1 | 2 - 1 = 1 |
| 1 - 1 | 1 - 1 = 0 |
