2. Subtraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

   Subtraction is an operation that represents removal of objects from a collection. [1] For example, in the adjacent picture, there are 5 − 2 peaches—meaning 5 peaches with 2 taken away, resulting in a total of 3 peaches. Therefore, the difference of 5 and 2 is 3; that is, 5 − 2 = 3.

3. Investigations in Numbers, Data, and Space - Wikipedia

   Investigations was developed between 1990 and 1998. It was just one of a number of reform mathematics curricula initially funded by a National Science Foundation grant. The goals of the project raised opposition to the curriculum from critics (both parents and mathematics teachers) who objected to the emphasis on conceptual learning instead of instruction in more recognized specific methods ...

   It is in Babylonian mathematics that elementary arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) first appear in the archaeological record. The Babylonians also possessed a place-value system and used a sexagesimal numeral system which is still in use today for measuring angles and time.

5. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

   The subtraction operator: a binary operator to indicate the operation of subtraction, as in 5 − 3 = 2. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. [1] The function whose value for any real or complex argument is the additive inverse of that argument. For example, if x = 3, then −x = −3, but if x = −3, then −x = +3. Similarly, −(−x) = x.

6. Exercise (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   At the Russian School of Mathematics, students begin multi-step problems as early as the first grade, learning to build on previous results to progress towards the solution. In the 1960s, collections of mathematical exercises were translated from Russian and published by W. H. Freeman and Company : The USSR Olympiad Problem Book (1962), [ 8 ...
