What this activity builds
Subtract one- and two-digit values accurately using place-value alignment and regrouping when required.
Worked example
What is 73 − 28?
45
Regroup 73 as 6 tens and 13 ones. Then 13 − 8 = 5 and 6 − 2 = 4, giving 45.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Have learners mark the ones column before beginning.
- Use expanded form to explain each regroup rather than teaching a crossed-out digit as an isolated trick.
