CHAPTER 3 :

SUBTRACTION
CONCEPT OF REGROUPING
Concept of Regrouping
Story Line:

 Imagine you have friends coming at home for

party.

 Mom agrees to cook omelets for everyone.

 Mom requires 18 eggs to cook omelets for

the party.

 We have 34 Eggs stored in the fridge.

How many Eggs we have at Home?

When do we need to regroup?

Regrouping is required while doing subtraction

when the number in minuend is smaller than
the number in subtrahend in “Ones” place.
T O
3 4 34 = 3 Tens + 4 Ones

-1 8 18 = 1 Tens + 8 Ones
Step 1: 4 Ones < 8 Ones
Step 2: How do we Regroup?
34 = 3 Tens + 4 Ones 34

34 = 2 Tens + 1 Tens + 4 Ones

34

34 = 2 Tens + 10 Ones + 4 Ones

(1 Tens = 10 Ones) 34

34 = 2 Tens + 14 Ones 34
 How does the Regrouping look like?

T O
Step 2: Subtract the Ones
Step 3: Subtract the Tens
2 Tens – 1 Tens = 1 Tens
2 14 14 Ones – 8 Ones = 6 Ones
Write 6 under Ones column
Write 1 under Tens column
3 4
1 8
1 6
More Examples – No. 01:

T O
Step 1: Compare Ones
4 13 3 < 5; We need to Regroup
Step 2: Subtract the Ones
5 3 13 Ones – 5 Ones = 8 Ones
Write 8 under Ones column
4 5 Step 3: Subtract the Tens
4 Tens – 4 Tens = 0 Tens
0 8 Write 0 under Tens column
More Examples – No. 02:

T O
Step 1: Compare Ones
7 17 7 < 9; We need to Regroup
Step 2: Subtract the Ones
8 7 17 Ones – 9 Ones = 8 Ones
Write 8 under Ones column
6 9 Step 3: Subtract the Tens
7 Tens – 6 Tens = 1 Tens
1 8 Write 1 under Tens column
More Examples – No. 03:

T O
Step 1: Compare Ones
7 15 5 < 7; We need to Regroup
Step 2: Subtract the Ones
8 5 15 Ones – 7 Ones = 8 Ones
Write 8 under Ones column
4 7 Step 3: Subtract the Tens
7 Tens – 4 Tens = 3 Tens
3 8 Write 3 under Tens column
More Examples – No. 04:

T O
Step 1: Compare Ones
8 18 8 < 9; We need to Regroup
Step 2: Subtract the Ones
9 8 18 Ones – 9 Ones = 9 Ones
Write 9 under Ones column
6 9 Step 3: Subtract the Tens
8 Tens – 6 Tens = 2 Tens
2 9 Write 2 under Tens column
