🔍 Explanation:
Subtraction means taking away a smaller number from a larger one. For example:
- In $ 6 - 6 $, you take away all six, so the result is
0.
- In $ 7 - 5 $, you start at 7 and count back 5: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 → so answer is
2.
These are basic facts that help build number sense and mental math skills for young learners.
