Addition (Give / Plus)
Combining two or more numbers to find a total sum, often represented by the plus (+) sign.
Subtraction (Take Away / Minus)
Finding the difference by taking away a smaller number from a larger number, represented by the minus (-) sign.
Regrouping in Addition (Carrying Over)
When the sum in the ones column is 10 or more, we carry over 1 to the tens column.
Regrouping in Subtraction (Borrowing)
When the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit in a column, we borrow 1 from the neighboring column.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to add or subtract in a word problem?
If the question asks for a total, combined amount, or 'how much in all', you should add (+). If it asks 'how much is left', 'what is the difference', or 'how many more', you should subtract (-).
What is borrowing in subtraction?
Borrowing is taking 1 from the neighboring tens place when the top digit is too small to subtract the bottom digit.
Can I check my subtraction answer?
Yes! You can add your answer to the smaller number, and if it equals the bigger number, your subtraction is correct.
