The year 3.1 students were learning about different subtraction strategies during different Mathematics lessons.  They subtracted numbers by counting back as well as by counting on.  The topic was introduced with concrete situations involving hands-on activities.  The students later moved on to pictorial representations of taking away and finally, they practiced the abstract part of subtracting number sums.  In the photos they are seen using interlocking cubes to help them work out subtraction sums.
