How can I help Y1 dd with subtraction?

[imaginaryfriend]

Dd's very good with literacy but not so hot with numeracy. She's getting quite good at addition if the numbers aren't too high or tricky. But she really doesn't get subtraction. I don't know how they teach them to subtract in Y1 so would appreciate any tips?

Also make sure she knows that all the 'subtraction' words - take away; minus; less than; subtract; difference etc. I know children sometimes get confused and it helps if they know they all mean the same thing!
