Addition and Subtraction Are Friends!
What is Addition?
Addition means putting things together.
We use the plus sign (+).
3 + 2 = 5
What is Subtraction?
Subtraction is taking away, the amount becomes less.
We use the minus sign (−).
For example: \(5 - 2 = 3\).
Remove 2 from 5 — 3 remains
Move left by 2: \(5 - 2 = 3\)
🌟 The Big Secret! 🌟
Addition and subtraction are connected!
They are like opposite friends.
One puts together. One takes apart.
Let's See How They Work Together!
Look at this example: 5 + 3 = 8
Now watch! We can go backwards: 8 − 3 = 5
