Learning Objective

I can subtract multi-digit numbers with grouping and regrouping to solve real-world problems.

  • 1

    Unlike addition, the order of numbers matters in subtraction; you must subtract the number you are taking away from the first number.

  • 2

    When subtracting multi-digit numbers, always start with the ones place column and work your way to the left.

  • 3

    When the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit, you need to borrow from the digit to the left, which represents borrowing a 10.
