Subtraction Concepts for Grade 1
Subtraction Concepts for Grade 1
Dear __________________
This is our second self-learning module in
Mathematics 1 in 4th Qtr. It will introduce
you to the concept of Subtraction within
100. Read and follow what I tell you in
each part of the lesson. If you have
questions, there are lines where you can
write them on. You may ask your Learning
Coach to help you with it or you may ask
me when we go online.
After going through this module, you are expected to be able to:
Illustrate subtraction as “taking away” or “comparing elements
of sets”;
Visualize, represent and subtract one-digit numbers with
minuends through 18 and;
Illustrate that addition and subtraction are inverse operations.
This module contains the following lessons:

Dear __________
Hi there! How’s your feeling today? Are
you ready for today’s lesson? But let us
start first with a prayer.
Dear Jesus, Help me spend today with a
smile on my face, love in my heart, live
by in his grace, and a thinking cap for
today. Amen.
Observe carefully the picture below. What are the things in the
picture you want to make less? What are the ways that you can do
to keep our surroundings clean?

Subtract the following numbers using the number line. The first
example is given to you.
Example: 7- 2 = 5
Check your work using the Answer Key in the Appendices of this
module.
Example 1.
Alex has 8 candies and he gave 3 candies to
his friend. How many candies were left?
Count now the number of remaining candies. Did you count 5 candies?
Very good!
8 - 3 = 5

Minuend
Example 2.
Based on the problem, how many cupcakes did Connie bake? Did
you answer 15 cupcakes? Good job. So we have 15 cupcakes and
we are going to take away 8 cupcakes since she already served it to
her visitors. Remember that we cross out to take away.
Example 3.
Boy -
Girl-
XX fewer
Example 4.
Let us use pictures again to visualize and compare the apples and
oranges.

Activity Time!
Bring out your 10 counters or any objects that can be used
in this activity. Suppose that you take away the 3 counters,
how many are left?
Subtraction Sentence:
- =
I know that you are already familiar with the number bonds since it
was already discussed in the previous lessons. Let us explore more how
this number bond works on subtracting numbers.
What to do:
1. Draw a number bond structure without filling in the numbers in a
paper and the subtraction sentence, 6-4 = ?.
2. Place 6 counters and write the number “6” in the number bonds as
follows:
3. Take away 4 counters and write the number “4” in the number bond
as follows:
4
6
4. Count the remaining counters and write the number “2” in the
number bond as follows:
4
6
2
7
12
?

12
5 5 hamburgers are left.
Count the remaining mugs. Did you count 7 mugs? Very good!
Therefore, the other part of the whole is 7 or we can say that 10—3 = 7.
3
10
7 7 mugs are left.
Example 1.
First, we can write our subtraction sentence as 12-5 =?. When we say
counting back, we count from the greater number to a lesser
number, for example, 8 7 6 5. We can use a number
line to count back.
Since our greater number is 12, start counting back from it and take 5
steps backward one at a time.
We can also use linking cubes and the take away method. We take
away 1 cube.
Now, count the remaining cubes left. Did you count 5 cubes?
Perfect! Therefore, we still arrived in the same answer even if we
use different method. We can say that 1 less than 6 is 5 or 6-1 =5.
Word Problem 1.
Based on the problem, Aaron haven’t tried anything with the drinks
that he bought. So, we can write our subtraction sentence as 10—0 =
10. Notice that if we subtract 0 from a number, the number remains
the same.

Lesson 2.
Dear Hippo,
Hi there! How’s your feeling today? Are
you ready for today’s lesson? But let us
start first with a prayer.
Dear Jesus, Help me spend today with a
smile on my face, love in my heart, live
by in his grace, and a thinking cap for
today. Amen.
It was recess time. You went to the canteen to buy food for
yourself waiting for your turn patiently because your teacher
told you to follow the rules in the canteen such as “Fall in line”
or “Wait for your turn”. You bought a fruit juice that cost ₱10
and a biscuit that costs ₱5.00. You have ₱50.00 in your pocket.
How much money did you spend in all? Then, how much is
your change?

The two addition statements have the same three numbers 3, 5, and
8.
So, how many chocolate ice cream do we have in all? Did you
answer 4? Very good! How about the mango ice cream? How many
are they? Did you answer 5? Good job! Therefore, how many ice
creams do we have altogether? Did you answer 9 ice creams? Great!
Now, we can make our addition and subtraction facts using the table.
We can write as our addition story the “There are 6 red cubes and 3
green cubes. How many cubes are there in all?” For our subtraction
story, “ 6 cubes are red. There are 9 cubes altogether. How many
green cubes are there?”
Addition: 6 + 3 = ? Subtraction: 9 - 6 = ?
