📚 Topic Summary
Comparison subtraction helps us understand the difference between two quantities. Imagine you have 7 apples and your friend has 4. Comparison subtraction tells us how many more apples you have than your friend. We can find the answer by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number ($7 - 4 = 3$). This means you have 3 more apples! 🎉
