Skills Assessed
- Subtraction as 'taking away' or finding the difference
- Relationship to addition: If 5 + 3 = 8, then 8 - 3 = 5
- Borrowing/regrouping: Taking from the next place value
- Subtraction is NOT commutative: 5 - 3 ≠ 3 - 5
- Zero property: Any number - 0 = that number
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting to reduce the digit after borrowing
- Subtracting the smaller digit from the larger regardless of position
- Not borrowing when the top digit is smaller
- Confusing subtraction order (minuend - subtrahend)
