This volume walks readers through types of subtraction by exploring sets, more than and less than, and single- and double-digit subtraction. Traditional methods (i.e., borrowing and carrying) are used to teach double-digit subtraction. While the main text uses lively rhyme, the candy-colored bears also give clues and tips via dialogue bubbles. McGrath's series continues to be a good resource for classrooms and small-group instruction.
