Key concepts students will learn:

  • When subtracting large numbers, it is important to line up the places before subtracting.

  • Always start with the furthest place to the right, which is the ones place when subtracting whole numbers.

  • When you borrow, you are borrowing from the place to the left, and you are technically borrowing 10 from the place value to the left.
