Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to add or subtract in a word problem?
Look for keywords! Words like 'total', 'altogether', 'sum', and 'more' mean you should add. Words like 'left', 'remaining', 'take away', and 'less' mean you should subtract.
What is carrying over in addition?
When the sum in the ones column is 10 or more, you write the ones digit below and 'carry over' the tens digit to the tens column.
How can I check if my subtraction answer is correct?
You can check your answer by adding the difference to the smaller number. If the sum equals the greater number, your subtraction is correct!
