Teachers!

A subtraction table can be a useful tool to have on display somewhere in your classroom.

Some guidelines to follow when using the subtraction table

When using the table, you need to look first for a number in the leftmost column.

Then, subtract from that number by selecting a number in the top horizontal row.

The answer can be found where the column and row meet.

For instance, 8 (in the vertical column) minus 9 (in the horizontal row) = -1
