Subtraction can be represented using three different models: missing addend, take away, and difference (comparison). Cupcake Capers introduces take-away subtraction.

These whole- class activities provide students with the opportunity to listen to a story about a subtraction situation, se materials and pictures to act out subtraction situations, make links between subtraction and addition and write related addition and subtraction facts.
