The following table also illustrates two methods for subtraction, one where all<br />

decomposing is done first, the other where decomposing is done as needed.<br />

Students will encounter situations where students “don’t have enough” to<br />

subtract. Note that this is more precise than saying, “You can’t subtract a larger<br />

number from a smaller number,” or the like, as the latter statement is a false<br />

mathematical statement. Eventually, students will subtract and obtain negative<br />

numbers. Note the accompanying diagrams that show the decomposing steps in<br />

each written subtraction method. Again, these methods generalize to numbers <strong>of</strong><br />

all sizes, and are based on decomposing larger units into smaller units when<br />

necessary.<br />

The Mathematics Framework was adopted by the <strong>California</strong> State Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> on<br />
