When you subtract 10, only the tens digit changes. The ones stay the same.
53 - 10 =
75 - 10 =
87 - 10 =
42 - 10 =
Subtract the tens. Keep the ones.
54 - 20 =
86 - 30 =
88 - 10 =
83 - 20 =
Use the number line. Mark jumps of 10 backward from the first number.
75 - 30 =
Mark jumps of 10 backward from 75
87 - 40 =
Mark jumps of 10 backward from 87
Number Talk — Which difference is bigger? Explain WITHOUT calculating.
75 - 20 or 75 - 40
My thinking:
86 - 30 or 86 - 10
My thinking:
Challenge — Subtract all the tens first, then all the ones.
95 - 30 - 20 =
83 - 50 - 10 =
