Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • When using expanded form for subtraction, you must expand each number into its hundreds, tens, and ones.

  • In the problem 803 - 147, you must regroup from the hundreds place because there is a zero in the tens place.

  • After regrouping, 803 becomes 700 + 90 + 13, and the answer to 803 - 147 is 656.
