Subtraction on number line

Subtraction on a number line involves moving to the left. Start at the minuend (first number), then count backward by the number of units equal to the subtrahend (second number). The point where you stop represents the difference. This visual method helps understand subtraction as “taking away” or finding the distance between numbers.
