Subtraction questions
What does regrouping mean in subtraction?
Regrouping, sometimes called borrowing, is needed when a digit on top is smaller than the digit below it. You take ten from the next place along. Subtraction without regrouping comes first, because no digit has to borrow.
Which grade should I choose?
Choose your child's own grade. Kindergarten covers take-away facts, counting up and subtraction stories. Subtraction without regrouping starts in Grade 1 and with regrouping in Grade 2. Subtracting across zeros and estimating differences start in Grade 3.
