The Relationship between Addition and Subtraction

1. Connect each subtraction operation with the related addition operation.

a. 18 – 5 = 13 33 + 4 = 37
b. 59 – 13 = 46 13 + 5 = 18
c. 74 – 18 = 56 56 + 18 = 74
d. 37 – 4 = 33 46 + 13 = 59

2. Make two different addition operation for each subtraction operation using the same numbers.

a. 54 – 10 = 44 c. 68 – 44 = 24
+ = 54 + = 68
+ = 54 + = 68
b. 98 – 25 = 73 d. 75 – 25 = 50
+ = 98 + = 75
+ = 98 + = 75
