Use blocks or crackers to model "taking away" before using numbers alone. Seeing 5 minus 2 with real objects makes subtraction concrete.
"You had 8 grapes. You ate 3. How many are left?" Story problems make subtraction meaningful and connected to daily life.
Practice counting backwards from 10 as a warm-up. This builds the mental foundation for subtraction.
Show your child that 3 + 2 = 5 and 5 - 2 = 3 are related. Understanding fact families strengthens both skills.
