घटाना

Subtraction is when you take one number away from another number. For example, if you have 5 apples and you give away 2, you have 3 apples left. So, 5 minus 2 equals 3.
You say 'subtraction' like this: sub-trak-shun.
The word 'subtraction' comes from the Latin word 'subtractionem', which means 'to take away'.
The word 'subtraction' in Hindi is 'घटाव' (Ghatāv).
The word 'subtraction' in Kannada is 'ಕಡಿತ' (Kaḍita).
Imagine you have 5 shiny apples. If you give away 2 apples to your friend, how many do you have left? Let’s count together!
5 apples minus 2 apples equals 3 apples!
Subtraction helps us understand how many we have after sharing or taking away. It’s like a fun game where you get to see what’s left!
So, next time you have some toys or candies, try subtracting and see how many you have left. Remember, every time you subtract, you’re just discovering what’s hiding behind the numbers!
