Subtracting Two-Digit Numbers (With Regrouping)
Students learn to subtract two-digit numbers that require regrouping tens to ones.
Key Questions
- Why is it sometimes necessary to 'borrow' from the tens column in subtraction?
- Analyze the common errors that occur when regrouping in subtraction.
- Design a visual aid to explain regrouping in subtraction to a peer.
