Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Regroup when the ones or tens digit of the subtrahend is greater than the ones or tens digit of the minuend.
- Regroup a ten into 10 ones.
- Regroup a hundred into 10 tens.
- If the tens digit of the minuend is a zero, you need to regroup the hundreds before you can regroup the tens.
Common misconception
Pupils may not think regrouping is needed if the tens are the same digit, but regrouping in the ones can mean regrouping in the tens.
Share examples where regrouping 1 ten as 10 tens means that regrouping is also needed in the tens (e.g. 345 - 148).
