We're going to look at how addition and subtraction are related, and number lines can help us with that. Do you recall how to use a number line to work out subtraction problems?
Use the number line to help you find the value of $35-24$35−24.
$35-24$35−24$=$=$\editable{}$
We can see how addition and subtraction are related by looking at their fact families, just like in this video.
Using the fact family of $5$5, $7$7, and $12$12.
$+$+ | $=$= | |||
$7$7 | $+$+ | $5$5 | $=$= | $12$12 |
What is $5+7$5+7?
What is $12-7$12−7?
What is $12-5$12−5?
There are four different number sentences we can make for each fact family, two addition and two subtraction. If we start with the numbers, $12$12, $13$13 and $25$25, we can make the following fact family:
$12$12 + $13$13 = $25$25
$13$13 + $12$12 = $25$25
$25$25 - $13$13 = $12$12
$25$25 - $12$12 = $13$13
