FAQ
What happens to the ones digit when a multiple of 10 is subtracted from a 2-digit number?⌄
The ones digit stays exactly the same because the subtraction affects only the tens column — for example, 47 - 20 = 27 because only the 4 tens decrease to 2 tens.
What errors are common when students subtract whole tens from 2-digit numbers?⌄
Some students subtract the subtracted tens from both the tens and ones digit rather than just the tens; reinforcing that only the tens column changes prevents this error.
How can a hundreds chart support students learning to subtract whole tens from 2-digit numbers?⌄
On a hundreds chart, subtracting a multiple of 10 means moving straight up by that many rows while staying in the same column — a powerful visual model for this skill.
