2. 6 - 3 = 3 If you start on 6 and jump back 3 spaces you land on 3 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

3. 11 - 5 = 6 If you start on 11 and jump back 5 spaces you land on 6 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

4. 6 - 2 = 4 You need to go back 2 jumps on the number track to get from 6 to 4 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

5. 8 - 3 = 5 You need to go back 3 jumps on the number track to get from 8 to 5 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

6. 14 - 4 = 10 You need to go back 4 jumps on the number track to get from 14 to 10 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

7. 9 - 4 = 5 You have to start on 5 (the total) and move forward 4 jumps to work out the starting number. 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

8. 13 - 5 = 8 You have to start on 8 (the total) and move forward 5 jumps to work out the starting number. 510 2 3 46789111315 1 12 14

9. Now try these… 12 - 5 = 8 8 - 4 = 4 7 - 2 = 5 13 - 6 = 7 15 - 3 = 12 9 - 7 = 2
