This song is available on Jennifer Fixman's We Love Math with Miss Jenny.

Teaching Tips:
      Subtraction is much harder for children to grasp than addition. If we can teach children to understand the relationship between addition and subtraction, they will have an easier time. When you do subtraction problems as a class, ask children how they knew the answers. They may respond using the same natural language used in this song.
      Print the PDF version of this song (coming soon) for a more “kid-friendly” song sheet. Feel free to use artwork in your classroom!
