The names of the numbers in a subtraction fact are:

Minuend - Subtrahend = Difference

Minuend: The number that is to be subtracted from.
Subtrahend: The number that is to be subtracted.
Difference: The result of subtracting one number from another.




Subtraction is ...

... taking one number away from another.

If you have 5 apples
and you subtract 2,
you will be left with 3.


This would be written:

5 - 2 = 3





If you have two oranges, you eat one of them. How many oranges are left with you?

2 - 1 = 1
