2. A number line can be used to record the stages
of a subtraction question in 2 different ways.
You can either use it to “count back” or use it to
“count on”. For example: 16 - 7 = 9
3. A number line can be used to record the stages
of a subtraction question in 2 different ways.
You can either use it to “count back” or use it to
“count on”. For example: 16 - 7 = 9
To “Count Back” you
need to subtract from
the larger number to
the smaller number in
stages:
