Number 

Subtraction – Bridging

Warm Up

Bridging can help us to subtract numbers. Look at this picture.

13 – 5 

For 13 – 5, we need to count back to the 10 first (take away 3) and then take away the rest of the number (2). Work it out like this;

First do   13 – 3 = 10

then do    10 – 2 = 8

so                13 – 5 = 8

Mental Maths

Try these mental maths subtraction sums;

13 – 5 = ?          15 – 6 = ?          14 – 8 = ?

17 – 9 = ?          12 – 7 = ?          16 – 8 = ?

11 – 7 = ?          18 – 9 = ?          13 – 8 = ?

14 – 7 = ?          12 – 9 = ?          15 – 9 = ?
