Learning Objective

I can subtract two-digit numbers with regrouping.

  • 1

    When subtracting two-digit numbers, you first look at the ones place, and if the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit, you need to regroup.

  • 2

    Regrouping involves taking one ten from the tens place and adding ten ones to the ones place.

  • 3

    For example, 83 can be thought of as seven tens and thirteen ones after regrouping, which allows you to subtract in the ones place.
