Understanding Subtraction Concepts

This video tutorial explains subtraction of whole numbers using models. It introduces the terms minuend, subtrahend, and difference, and demonstrates subtraction through examples using objects like oranges and circles. The video covers three examples: 7 - 5, 12 - 8, and 22 - 14, showing how to model and interpret subtraction in different ways.
