About subtracting 8
The facts for subtracting 8 run from 8 – 8 = 0 to 20 – 8 = 12. Each answer is 8 less than the first number, and adding 8 back gives the first number again: 15 – 8 = 7 and 7 + 8 = 15. Taking 8 from its double leaves 8: 16 – 8 = 8. Taking 8 from 10 leaves 2: 10 – 8 = 2. One fact family: 8 + 7 = 15, 7 + 8 = 15, 15 – 8 = 7 and 15 – 7 = 8.
