00:00Hey there friends, welcome back to another exciting adventure in the world of numbers.
00:05Are you ready to become subtraction superstars?
00:08Get ready to unlock the secrets of taking away and become true math whizzes.
00:13Let's dive into the amazing world of taking away, or as we call it, subtraction.
00:19It's a fundamental skill that helps us understand the world around us.
00:23Subtraction simply means finding out how much is left when we take something away.
00:27It's like magic but with numbers.
00:30Imagine you've got 5 tasty apples.
00:32They're red, juicy and ready to be eaten.
00:35If you eat 2, how many are left?
00:38Think carefully.
00:39That's right, 3 apples.
00:41You started with 5, ate 2 and now you have 3 remaining.
00:46It's as easy as that.
00:47You've already done your first subtraction problem.
00:50But how can you become a subtraction master?
00:52What are the best ways to practice and improve your skills?
00:56Let me show you some easy tricks.
00:57These tips and tricks will make subtraction a breeze.
01:00First up, let's use counters.
01:03Counters are fantastic tools for visualizing subtraction.
01:07Grab some coins, toy cars or even building blocks.
01:09Anything you can count.
01:11These will be your visual aids.
01:13Let's say you have 6 blocks.
01:14Imagine them lined up in front of you.
01:16If you take away 4, just physically move them aside.
01:20Separate them from the group.
01:22Count what's left.
01:242 blocks.
01:24That's the answer to 6 minus 4.
01:27Seeing subtraction in action makes it much easier to understand.
01:30It transforms an abstract concept into something tangible.
01:33Now, here's a fun real life example.
01:37Let's see how subtraction applies to everyday situations.
01:40Imagine you're sharing sweets with your friends.
01:43Sharing is caring and it also involves subtraction.
01:47You have 10 sweets and give 3 to your best mate.
01:50What a kind gesture.
01:52How many do you have left?
01:54Time to put your subtraction skills to the test.
01:57Count them up.
01:58You've got 7 all to yourself.
01:5910 minus 3 equals 7.
02:01Subtraction is everywhere.
02:04Especially when it comes to sharing and playing.
02:07It helps us manage resources and understand quantities.
02:10And guess what?
02:11There's even more fun to be had.
02:13There are loads of cool apps and games that make learning subtraction super fun.
02:18Learning can be enjoyable and interactive.
02:21You can pop balloons, feed animals or solve puzzles all while practicing your skills.
02:25These games cleverly incorporate subtraction into their gameplay.
02:29So next time you're on a tablet or computer, ask if you can try an educational subtraction game.
02:35It's a fantastic way to learn while having fun.
02:38Here's a quick trick.
02:40A super helpful tip to keep in your back pocket.
02:43If you ever get stuck, try counting backwards.
02:45It's a simple yet effective strategy.
02:49Start with the bigger number and count down the number you're taking away.
02:52Use your fingers to help you keep track.
02:55For example, with 9 minus 4, start at 9 and count backwards.
02:598, 7, 6, 5.
03:00Each number represents one less than the previous.
03:03The answer is 5.
03:05You did it!
03:06Remember, subtraction is just like solving a mystery.
03:09You're a math detective.
03:11You're finding out how many are left, uncovering the hidden answer.
03:15So grab some toys, try some apps and give those real life examples a go.
03:19The more you engage with subtraction, the better you'll become.
03:22The more you practice, the easier it gets.
03:25Practice makes perfect as they say.
03:27You've got this.
