Interesting Subtraction Facts
Subtracting a number from itself always results in zero (e.g., 5 - 5 = 0).
Subtracting zero from any number leaves the number unchanged (e.g., 7 - 0 = 7).
Subtracting a number from a smaller number results in a negative number (e.g., 3 - 5 = -2).
The difference between two consecutive numbers is always 1 (e.g., 6 - 5 = 1).
Subtraction is not commutative: changing the order of numbers changes the result (e.g., 5 - 3 ≠ 3 - 5).
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
