Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Subtract single-digit quantities and understand tens and ones.

How to use this worksheet

  1. Model the target skill: identify when borrowing from the tens place is necessary. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Subtract single-digit quantities and understand tens and ones.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: After renaming one ten as ten ones, reduce the tens digit; do not leave both digits unchanged.

A common mistake to discuss

After renaming one ten as ten ones, reduce the tens digit; do not leave both digits unchanged.

What to practice next

Represent one borrowing step with tens and ones and check the difference by addition.

Example: 62 - 37 = 25.
