FAQ
What mental math strategies help when subtracting a 1-digit from a 2-digit number?⌄
Students can use counting back, the think-addition strategy (what + 6 = 23?), or the break-apart method — splitting the 2-digit number into tens and ones — to find differences mentally.
When does borrowing become necessary in these problems?⌄
Borrowing is needed when the ones digit of the 2-digit number is less than the digit being subtracted — for example, 42 – 7 requires regrouping because 2 < 7.
How do these problems connect to addition fact fluency?⌄
Students who know addition facts automatically can use the think-addition strategy efficiently, which is why building fact fluency in both operations simultaneously is recommended.
