Subtraction with Regrouping? You Need a Regrouping Mat!

As teachers, we know too well that subtraction can be a stumbling block for many students. It’s a concept that demands abstract thinking, mental agility, and a solid grasp of number sense. But fear not! By utilizing hands-on base ten manipulatives in your teaching, you can offer a valuable and solid foundation for learners who may be struggling.

The Printable Math Mat is a helpful tool that aids students in showcasing their math skills. With organized sections, it enables easy manipulation of base ten blocks and improves understanding of the regrouping process. We recommend sliding each mat into a clear sleeve so that students can manipulate blocks and write the steps in the subtraction algorithm as they are completed.
