Tips for using it
- Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
- Think addition: 12 - 7 asks what you add to 7 to make 12.
- For small numbers, counting back on a number line is a reliable strategy.
- When borrowing, cross out the digit you borrow from and write the new number above it.
