Teaching Children to Subtract by Counting Up.
Fuson, Karen C.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v17 n3 p172-89 May 1986
First graders were taught to solve symbolic subtraction combinations by counting up from the smaller number to the larger while keeping track of the number counted up by using one-handed finger patterns. They improved quite considerably on a timed test of the more difficult subtraction combinations. (MNS)
