This resource introduces students to the concept of regrouping when subtracting two-digit numbers. It explains that regrouping is necessary when the digit in the ones place of the subtrahend (the number being subtracted) is larger than the digit in the ones place of the minuend (the number from which another number is subtracted). The document outlines a step-by-step process for regrouping, including checking the ones place, borrowing from the tens place, and adjusting the digits accordingly. It also provides guided practice problems and visual aids to reinforce the concept, emphasizing important checkpoints to ensure students follow the correct process. The aim is to help students confidently perform subtraction with regrouping.
