1. Subtraction with Regrouping
By: Kathrina Russell-Stubbs

2. Q: What is regrouping?
A: Regrouping or burrowing is a word
which we use to take ten from one
number to give to another. We do
this when we do not have enough to
subtract two numbers.

3. Q: How do you know when to regroup?
A: You know its time to regroup when
the number you are subtracting is
larger than the number which you are
subtracting from.

4. Here are some examples.
2 5
- 1 8
5 cannot take away 8.
So we must burrow
from the 2.
1 15

5. Here are some examples.
