Your child is learning to **subtract numbers within 10** — that is, take a starting number of 10 or less and subtract another number from it. They'll learn subtraction two ways: as **taking away** objects from a group, and as **finding how many are left** when some are removed. They will use objects, fingers, and counting back to find the answer, and they'll begin to understand and use the minus sign (−) and equals sign (=).
