We are close to wrapping up our unit on THREE digit subtraction. The children have learned key phrases like "Bottom bigger borrow", "Go next door, get 10 more", "More on the top, no need to stop" and "Number's the same, zero's the game". These phrases are used throughout the subtraction process. For a little fun, have your child show you how we use the phrases to subtract. Now we just need a dance to go with it ;)!
The photo below shows how we also use place value blocks to help us understand the process of subtracting and borrowing.
