The vedic math sutra - "All from nine and the last from ten"
Subtraction is
not a very complex mathematics calculation but it would get difficult
when you are dealing with large numbers and even more difficult when it
results in carrying over from the left hand site number.
This is a good magic math trick for
kids who could use a little subtraction practice. It gives them an
incentive to do subtraction because that is how the trick works. Good for Kids
in 2nd to 3rd grades but older students like it too.
