Borrowing and Subtracting Practice
Use regrouping when a digit in the top number is smaller than the digit below it. Show your work for each calculation. For multiple-choice questions, select one answer unless the directions say to select all that apply.
Understanding Regrouping
Review how place value helps you subtract across columns.
1.Which subtraction requires regrouping in the ones place?
- 94 − 32
- 63 − 28
- 85 − 41
- 76 − 24
2.When one ten is regrouped into ones, how many ones does it become?
- 2 ones
- 5 ones
- 10 ones
- 100 ones
3.Select every statement that correctly describes regrouping when subtracting.
- A ten from the next place to the left can be exchanged for 10 ones in the current place.
- The top digit in the current place increases by 10 after regrouping.
- You may take a ten from a place that is not next to the current place.
- The place value of the number stays the same after regrouping.
