What children learn in Level 16
- 703 minus 698 looks hard, but the numbers are close together. Count up from 698 instead!
- From 698 to 700 is 2. From 700 to 703 is 3. 2 plus 3 is 5.
- Subtraction finds the distance between two numbers. When they're close, counting up is quick. When they're far apart, place value may be better. You choose!
