Subtraction is a basic mathematical operation used to find the difference between two numbers. It is represented by the minus sign (-) and helps us know how much is left when we take away some items or quantities.
Here’s a small story of two friends, Lily and Max, to understand what subtraction is all about.
Lily and Max were playing with a basket of shiny marbles. Lily had 8 marbles, and Max had 5 marbles. They wanted to find out how many more marbles Lily had than Max, so they decided to use subtraction.
Learn MoreEmma had 8 candies, and she gave 3 candies to her friend. How many candies does Emma have now?
Jack had 15 stickers, but he lost 7 stickers while playing. How many stickers does Jack have now?
A farmer had 20 eggs, and 6 eggs got broken. How many eggs are left?
There were 10 balloons in a party, but 3 balloons popped. How many balloons are still there?
Tom had 25 marbles, and he gave 12 marbles to his friend. How many marbles does Tom have now?
Jenny had 30 stickers, and she shared 8 stickers with her brother. How many stickers does Jenny have now?

There were 28 books on the shelf, and 9 books were borrowed by students. How many books are still on the shelf?
Subtract the following: 229 – 108
In a farm, there were 50 cows, but 15 cows were taken to another farm. How many cows are left in the farm?
Lily started with 8 marbles. To find out how many more marbles she had than Max, they used subtraction. They imagined they were giving Max’s 5 marbles back to him one by one, counting as they went.
So, Lily had 8 marbles: 8 – 1 = 7, 7 – 1 = 6, 6 – 1 = 5. After giving back three marbles, she had 5 marbles left.
In this story, subtraction helped Lily and Max know the difference in the number of marbles they had. The minus sign (-) showed that they were taking away some marbles to find the difference.
Just like Lily and Max played with marbles to find the difference, we use subtraction to know how many more or fewer items we have when we take some away. It’s a fantastic math skill to learn when we want to figure out what’s left or how much we have after sharing with friends or taking away things.
