Mastering Subtraction Strategies

The video tutorial introduces five strategies for accurate subtraction: using manipulatives, drawing pictures, employing a number line, applying touch math, and counting up. Each method is demonstrated with examples, emphasizing starting with the larger number, except for counting up, which begins with the smaller number. The tutorial aims to help learners find a strategy that suits them best.
