💡 Hardest Concept:
Borrowing (regrouping) — especially when subtracting larger numbers where multiple place values need borrowing.
✅ Tips to Overcome:
Use number lines to visually show the "distance" between numbers.
Practice with real-life subtraction (shopping change, counting objects).
Reinforce understanding that subtraction is finding what’s left or the difference.
📚 Study Tip:
Teach the "check your work by adding" method — if A - B = C, then B + C = A — this boosts accuracy and doubles as practice for addition.
🌟 Subtraction can feel tricky, but it's simply telling a story of "what’s left." Every time your child practices subtraction, they’re sharpening problem-solving skills they’ll use their entire life — from budgeting money to measuring ingredients in a recipe. Progress happens one small step at a time!
