Yep.

Ruthie, it’s our differences that make us so unique. And arithmetic so boring!!

but, it will all add up to a positive grade

But if nothing else, it should make you appreciate addition that much more!

I love Ruthie!

First real-world experience with subtraction came when I had to make change for customers.

Wait till you get your first check. Then you’ll see what negative is !

Anything to get out of doing Math!

Without subtraction, I wouldn’t be able to get into my house. And it’s time to subtract more.

Or you could call the answers leftovers.

Try subtracting negative numbers, then things add up.

Addition is positive, but you’ll complain about that too!

Wait a few more years when she has to find the difference between two squares.
