Subtraction Expanding 2-Digits with Regrouping
These worksheets focus on the addition of 2-digits. Students will practice their addition skills. These worksheets can be used in the classroom or as homework assignments.
One way to approach this type of subtraction problem is to regroup or "borrow" from the next column. For example, if your child is trying to subtract 7 from 12, they can regroup by taking one ten and breaking it into 10 ones. Then they would have 2 ones left in the ones column and 10 ones in the tens column, making a total of 12. They can then subtract 7 from 12 to get 5 as the answer.
It's important to make sure your child understands why we are regrouping and how it helps us solve the problem. You can also use visual aids such as base ten blocks or number lines to help them understand the concept better.
Practice with different subtraction problems, including those that don't require regrouping, to further reinforce the concept. Encourage your child to think about the best approach for each problem and explain their thinking. With understanding and practice, your child will become confident in solving subtraction problems with regrouping.
To conclude, remember to start with a basic example and gradually increase the difficulty. Offer tips and provide practice problems for your child to strengthen their subtraction skills. And don't forget to make it fun by incorporating a theme!
