Learning objective

What this activity builds

Locate a completed subtraction fact and explain how the answer changes when either operand changes.

Worked example

How are 8 − 3 and 3 − 8 different?

8 − 3 = 5; 3 − 8 = −5

Reversing the operands changes the sign. On a number line, moving eight steps left from 3 ends at −5.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Read a fact aloud before locating its answer so the operands are not reversed.
  • Compare neighboring facts and ask why each answer changes by one. Introduce the negative results only when learners are ready.
