    Kids use various vivid pictures and models to understand subtraction in the Pre-K Grade. They remove and match numbers, take away numbers to match, subtract with pictures, and use models to spot the difference. Fun subtraction games from online educational platforms enhance kids' conceptual clarity. Head on to the following sections to know more.

    Introduction

    Subtraction ideally means counting back or taking away a specific number from a bigger number. For instance, Subtracting 3 from 5 would essentially mean that you are taking away 3 from 5 or “counting back 3 places from 5." The answer you get as a result is called the difference.

    As soon as a kid gets acquainted with numbers, they can be taught to subtract using manipulatives and physical objects. Fun subtraction games, such as those on SplashLearn, are aligned to the common core and have an interactive interface that enables kids to practice subtraction efficiently. Further in this blog, you will know about the various challenges kids face while learning subtraction and ways to overcome them.

    Wonderful Games to Make Subtraction Simple for Kids 

    Here are a few incredible games your kids can play to practice subtraction.

    Can Subtraction Overwhelm Kids?

    Since your kids have just learned numbers, subtraction can intimidate them initially. Firstly, they may have problems counting backward. Since they have just discovered the forward counting sequence, backward counting can get a bit tricky.

    Secondly, they may be unable to visualize the problem clearly. For example, if you say subtract 4 oranges from a basket of 9, they may not understand your instruction due to their lack of conceptual clarity. 

    Helping Your Kids Master Subtraction

    Math concepts like subtraction need a lot of practice and focus. As a parent, you can help your kids learn it better using engaging teaching techniques. Try read-aloud books that introduce this concept through fun examples and pictures. This would help them visualize the concept of subtraction. Ask your kids to “take away” a random number of things from a cluster of toys or everyday things. This will motivate them to apply their knowledge and hone their skills. 

    Conclusion

    Subtraction can be a lot more fun if taught in the right way. SplashLearn's interactive games offer a personalized learning experience and simplify the concept of subtraction and make your kids fall in love with arithmetics.
