Look for keywords! Words like 'total', 'altogether', and 'sum' mean you need to add. Words like 'left', 'remain', 'how much more', and 'take away' mean you need to subtract.
Why do we start adding from the ones column?
We always start from the ones column so that if the sum is 10 or more, we can easily carry over the extra tens to the tens column.
What should I do if the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit during subtraction?
You need to borrow 1 from the neighboring column on the left to make your top digit big enough to subtract from.
