About subtracting 10
The facts for subtracting 10 run from 10 – 10 = 0 to 22 – 10 = 12. Each answer is 10 less than the first number, and adding 10 back gives the first number again: 17 – 10 = 7 and 7 + 10 = 17. Taking 10 from its double leaves 10: 20 – 10 = 10. Taking 10 from a number from 10 to 19 leaves its ones digit: 17 – 10 = 7. One fact family: 10 + 7 = 17, 7 + 10 = 17, 17 – 10 = 7 and 17 – 7 = 10.
