To “Count Up” you need to add on from the smaller number to the larger number in stages. To record it using a column method you need to first be able to record it on a number line. For example 86 – 47 = 39:
+ 6 + 30
47 50 86
+ 3
56

Counting up can also be used with 3 digit numbers, for example: 335 – 177 = 158. Firstly, using a number line:
+ 20 + 100
177 200 300
+ 3
180 335330
