Subtracting Numbers Within 100 With Regrouping

Page 2 of 6
 
Here's how we're going to do it:

Work for 92-35...  We're going to split the 9 into an 8 and a 1...  Since 9=8+1

Now, remember, that's really 90 = 80 + 10!

Now, here's the key to this whole trick:

A 1 in the tens stripe is 10...
and that's the same as 10 ones!

< It's just like swapping a $10 bill for ten $1 bills! >

Work for 92-35


Now, add the 10 and the 2 in the ones stripe:

Work for 92-35


Now, we'll finish it off quick! 

Subtract the ones...  Then, subtract the tens...

Work for 92-35...  Subtracting the ones Work for 92-35...  Subtracting the tens


So, 92-35=57
