More Complexities in Subtraction.
Fuson, Karen
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v15 n3 p214-25 May 1984
Discusses four ways in which subtraction is more difficult than addition: (1) verbal solutions do not always parallel object solutions; (2) methods may interfere with each other; (3) special problems exist with subtraction on the number line; and (4) subtraction has multiple situational interpretations.
