Twenty subtraction facts within 10, such as 9 − 4 and 7 − 2. Every fact starts with the bigger number, so no answer goes below zero, and none takes away nothing or everything. Children can count back on their fingers at first, or think of the matching addition: 9 − 4 is “4 and what make 9?”. Answers on page 2.
