Basic Subtraction Model

Here are the basic models. You can also check out the other variations of the subtraction model .

In the question 7 - 3, draw two boxes, one to represent 7 and the other to represent 3. For this model, there are a few ways to draw it. They are presented below. You may choose the one that you like most.
