In this episode we dive into the operation of subtraction and explore how intimately it is connected with addition. Both addition and subtraction are additive ways of reasoning, and it's generally not beneficial to try to consider one operation completely in isolation from the other!

There are so many great math educators out there providing training and resources that help build understanding around these operations, but the two specifically mentioned in today's episode are:

Christina Tondevold (specific vlog mentioned: How To Make Subtraction Not So Hard)

Steve Wyborney (activity mentioned: Splat)

Be sure to keep an eye out for next week when we allow ourselves to consider the entire realm of numbers that opens for us when we subtract a larger number from a smaller number, and how all these ways of thinking we've developed so far will enable us to navigate this uncharted territory with relative ease. :)
