Subtraction with Regrouping – 2nd and 3rd Grade Review

Teaching vertical subtraction with borrowing/regrouping can be a challenge. This teaching presentation aims to simplify the process by using a conversational tone. You can narrate each step by reading the text; the on-screen visuals will match.

The presentation begins with an explanation of borrowing using concrete materials, i.e., base-10 blocks, to help visualize quite an abstract concept. Extend this portion of the presentation by having students replicate this using physical blocks and then using numbers of their own choosing.

Nothing to Borrow?

The teaching presentation also has a section describing what to do when a neighboring column has nothing to borrow. You could complete this section at the same time as the first or separate these parts over two lessons to ensure your students grasp the concept of traditional borrowing before moving on to “double borrowing.”
