Teaching Notes

Emphasize regrouping a ten into ten ones. Use base ten blocks or a number line to visualize the subtraction process, especially for students new to borrowing.

Vocabulary
Multiple of ten: Numbers like 10, 20, 30, ending in zero.
Borrow: Take from a higher place value.
Common Mistakes
  • Subtracting the smaller digit from the larger digit in the ones place (e.g., 30 - 7, student does 7-0=7 and 3-0=3, answer 37).
  • Forgetting to adjust the tens place after regrouping.
Differentiation
SupportProvide manipulatives like base ten blocks. Guide students to subtract 10 first, then add back the difference. E.g., for 30-7, think 30-10=20, then 20+3=23.
ChallengeChallenge students to explain their strategy for solving a problem. Introduce similar problems with larger numbers (e.g., subtracting from 100 or 1000).
Discussion Questions
  • How is subtracting 7 from 30 different from subtracting 7 from 9?
  • When we subtract from a 'whole ten' number, what happens in the ones place? What happens in the tens place?
  • Can you think of a real-life situation where you would need to subtract from a whole ten?
Extension Activities
  • Use a number line.
  • Count back by tens and ones.
  • Draw it out.
Parent Tip

Use a clock face to show how subtracting from a multiple of ten works.
