Lesson 3

Subtracting Two – to Three –

digit Numbers with Regrouping
Using short method
Let’s Explore:
2 14
434
-2 1 6 Subtract the ones digits. 4 - 6
2 1 8 cannot be; borrow 1 ten
from 30. 30 becomes 20.
Add 1 ten to 4 ones. It
becomes 14.

434 – 216 = 218

• When the digit in the minuend is smaller
than the digit in the subtrahend, regroup
the minuend and borrow one from the next
place value. Begin with the ones digit, then
the tens, then the hundreds.
