This study was designed to investigate issues connected with the teaching of subtraction during the primary school years of education in the United Kingdom. The central aim of the research was to show how problems associated with the setting out and solving of subtraction algorithms, together with the use of mathematical language, and the pupils’ capacity for memory were key issues and contributing factors to pupils’ consistent difficulties with subtraction. The research was based on one central question that of: “Why are our pupils failing to understand subtractions, and what factors contribute to this failing?” The study was conducted over a period of five years. The main subjects of the study were a group of 22 mixed ability pupils, who ...
