Show transcript
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to use our fraction-sense to determine the most appropriate strategy to use.
Mixed numbers can be subtracted by counting back using a number line or by converting them to improper fractions.
If mixed numbers are close, it is more efficient to ‘find the difference’ by counting forwards from part to whole.
