                  There are                            Nothing is                           The same

                  4 cups on                        removed from                         4 cups remain

             4 – 0 = 4

             In the same way;                                        from any number, the


             5 – 0 = 5                                               number remains the same.


             8 – 0 = 8  and so on.


            Subtract the following numbers horizontally :



                 6         –        0        =                             5        –        0         =



                 3         –        0        =                             2        –        0         =




            Subtract the following numbers ver cally :
