Subtraction is taking away a number from another number. It helps us find out how many are left. Imagine you have 5 cookies 🍪, and you eat 2. Subtraction helps us figure out how many cookies you have left! We use a special sign called a minus sign (-) to show subtraction. So, $5 - 2 = 3$ means you have 3 cookies left!
