Counting to Subtract Up to 100

Discover how counting back turns subtraction up to 100 into simple, countable steps using a number line and small jumps.


What You'll Learn

Count back from the larger number one step at a time to find a difference such as \( 74 - 3 \)
Use a number line to see each backward jump as subtracting 1
Combine counting back by tens and by ones when the number being subtracted is bigger
Recognize that counting back works best when the number being subtracted is small, such as 1, 2, or 3
Check the answer by counting forward from the difference back up to the original number

What You'll Practice
