When subtracting 8 from a teen number (a number between 10 and 19), you can use the following method.
Let’s look at some examples:
Examples:
Subtract 8 from 14:
14 - 8 can be done in 2 steps
10 - 8 = 2
4 + 2 = 6
So, 14 − 8 = 6
Subtract 8 from 17:
17 - 8 can be done in 2 steps
10 - 8 = 2
7 + 2 = 9
So, 17 − 8 = 9
Subtract 8 from 11:
11 - 8 can be done in 2 steps
10 - 8 = 2
1 + 2 = 3
So, 11 − 8 = 3
After some practice, the student may recognize the pattern of adding 2 when subtracting 8. This approach is particularly useful for mental math, and it helps students develop their understanding of numbers and basic subtraction concepts.
