Which picture shows the difference?


Questions

To perform the subtraction of -1 - 2, we can follow these steps:

1. **Understanding Negative Numbers**: Starting from -1, if we subtract 2, we will move further down the number line (i.e., in the negative direction).

2. **Subtracting 2 from -1**:
   \[
   -1 - 2 = -3
   \]
   
So, when you start with -1 and subtract 2, the result is -3.

Now, regarding the pictures you mentioned showing the difference, I cannot see them. However, to find the picture representing -3, you would look for something that visually represents a value of -3, such as three objects or counters in a negative context (like three red circles or any other representation that signifies negative three).

If you have specific images to choose from, I recommend selecting the one that shows three instances of whatever counter or marker is used to represent the negative number.

Use counters to subtract 1 − –1.

Questions

To perform the subtraction \(1 - (-1)\), we can break it down:

1. **Understanding the Operation**: Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. So:
   \[
   1 - (-1) = 1 + 1
   \]

2. **Calculating the Result**:
   \[
   1 + 1 = 2
   \]

**Conclusion**: You start with 1 and subtract -1, which effectively adds 1, resulting in 2.

Regarding "which picture shows the difference," without specific images, I would suggest looking for an image that depicts the number 2. This could be two counters, two circles, or any other representation indicating the value of 2. If you provide specific images, I can help identify which one represents the result.

Use counters to subtract –4 − –3.

Questions

To perform the subtraction \(-4 - (-3)\), we can break it down:

1. **Understanding the Operation**: Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. So:
   \[
   -4 - (-3) = -4 + 3
   \]

2. **Calculating the Result**:
   \[
   -4 + 3 = -1
   \]

**Conclusion**: You start with -4 and subtract -3, which effectively adds 3, resulting in -1.

Regarding the picture that shows the difference, you would want to look for an image that represents the number -1. This could be a single counter or marker that indicates the value of -1 (like one red circle or any representation that visually signifies negative one). If you provide specific images, I can help you identify which one depicts the result.

Use counters to subtract –2 − –1.

Questions

To perform the subtraction \(-2 - (-1)\), we can break it down as follows:

1. **Understanding the Operation**: Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Therefore, we can rewrite it as:
   \[
   -2 - (-1) = -2 + 1
   \]

2. **Calculating the Result**:
   \[
   -2 + 1 = -1
   \]

**Conclusion**: You start with -2 and subtract -1 (which effectively adds 1), resulting in -1.

Regarding the picture that shows the difference, you would look for an image that visually represents the number -1. This could be represented with a single counter, a red circle, or any other depiction that indicates the value of -1.

If you have specific pictures to choose from, please let me know, and I can help you identify which one represents the result!

Use counters to subtract 6 − 2.

You start with:



You subtract:



Which picture shows the difference?


Questions

To perform the subtraction \(6 - 2\), follow these steps:

1. **Starting Point**: You have 6 counters.
2. **Subtracting**: You will subtract 2 counters from the 6 counters.

**Calculation**:
\[
6 - 2 = 4
\]

**Conclusion**: You start with 6 counters and subtract 2 counters, leaving you with 4 counters.

### Visual Representation
To find the picture that shows the difference, you would look for an image that represents the number 4. This could mean an image with four counters, four circles, or any other representation indicating the value of 4.

If you have specific images in mind, please describe them, and I can help identify the correct one!

Questions

To perform the subtraction \(1 - (-1)\), we can break it down into parts:

1. **Starting Point**: You start with 1.
2. **Subtracting**: You are subtracting -1. 

### Calculation:
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number:
\[
1 - (-1) = 1 + 1
\]
So:
\[
1 + 1 = 2
\]

### Conclusion:
You start with 1 and subtract -1, which effectively adds 1, resulting in a total of 2.
