You could also try challenging yourself by starting to count from different numbers.Subtraction

This week we are learning to subtract by counting back. In class, we encourage the children to put the biggest number in their head and then show the smaller number on their fingers and count back using their fingers.

So for the number sentence 16 - 7 = __ The children put the number 16 in their head.

Then show 7 on their fingers.

Count back on your fingers.

The last number they count on their fingers is the answer.

So 16 - 7 = 9 For more help you can watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8b4UkMlVu8
