Video: Understanding Subtraction with Regrouping Using the Game of Monopoly
May 4, 2020 | Tallahassee
At Mathnasium of Tallahassee, we often speak with parents who share their child does well with addition skills, but struggles with subtraction. Mastering subtraction with regrouping -- or borrowing – can be especially challenging. This is magnified when trying to understand the subtraction with regrouping process with a zero across multiple place values.
For many students, understanding subtraction with regrouping is a challenge because of the abstract nature in which it is presented in the classroom. However, when the concept is explained using a concrete, tangible example it brings clarity.
At Mathnasium of Tallahassee, subtraction skills, along with many math concepts we review with students during their instruction and tutoring, are taught using games, manipulatives and mental math techniques that help bring that clarity to the abstract.
In this edition of our Number Sense video series, we share how using the family favorite game of Monopoly can help kids better understand subtraction with regrouping, along with other key math concepts.
