Cut Stroke Method


             Subtract 3 from 6.


                         Draw 6 strokes


                         Cut    3 strokes





                         The strokes remain

                         So,             6  –  3  =  3



                  Vertical subtraction
                                                                                 6

                    6  –  3  =  3 can be shown as                            –  3

                                                                                 3




                  Subtract the following.




                   8  –  4  =                         4  –  3  =                          7  –  2  =





                   4  –  2  =                         7  –  5  =                          8  –  3  =




                  Subtract using cut stroke method.


                           8                          4                          9                          8

                       –  3                       –  1                       –  4                       –  7







                  Subtract by vertical method.


                           9                          6                          9                          4

                       –  2                       –  3                       –  1                       –  3
