ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 Subtraction and Regrouping for Kids | Math Worksheets for 2nd Grade
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have fun with subtraction. We’ll learn how to do subtraction with regrouping. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
Sometimes, when we subtract, the number on top is smaller than the number below it. When this happens, we need to regroup. Regrouping helps us borrow from the next number to make subtraction easier.
Imagine we have the problem 51 minus 35. Let’s start with the ones place. We have 1 and 5. Since 1 is smaller than 5, we need to regroup.
We take 10 from the 5 in the tens place, which is like taking 10 from 50, making it 40. Now, we add that 10 to the 1 in the ones place, turning it into 11.
Now we can subtract: 11 minus 5 is 6. Then, we subtract in the tens place: 4 minus 3 is 1. So, the answer is 16. Let’s circle 16!
Now, let’s solve 65 minus 26. In the ones place, we have 5 and 6. Since 5 is smaller than 6, we need to regroup again.
We take 10 from the 6 in the tens place, making it 50. We add that 10 to the 5 in the ones place, turning it into 15.
Now we can subtract: 15 minus 6 is 9. Then, in the tens place: 5 minus 2 is 3. So, the answer is 39. Let’s circle 39!
Let’s try 76 minus 38. In the ones place, we have 6 and 8. Since 6 is smaller than 8, we need to regroup.
We take 10 from the 7 in the tens place, making it 60. We add that 10 to the 6 in the ones place, turning it into 16.
Now we can subtract: 16 minus 8 is 8. Then, in the tens place: 6 minus 3 is 3. So, the answer is 38. Let’s circle 38!
Let’s try one last problem: 82 minus 56. In the ones place, we have 2 and 6. Since 2 is smaller than 6, we need to regroup.
We take 10 from the 8 in the tens place, making it 70. We add that 10 to the 2 in the ones place, turning it into 12.
Now we can subtract: 12 minus 6 is 6. Then, in the tens place: 7 minus 5 is 2. So, the answer is 26. Let’s circle 26!
You’ve done a fantastic job learning subtraction with regrouping. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a subtraction superstar! See you next time!
Subtraction Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your house or classroom to find objects that you can use to practice subtraction with regrouping. For example, use small toys or blocks. Create subtraction problems using these objects, such as starting with 15 blocks and taking away 8. Practice regrouping by borrowing from a group of 10 blocks. Can you solve the problem and find out how many blocks are left?
Story Time Subtraction: Create a short story where characters need to solve a problem using subtraction with regrouping. For instance, imagine a character has 42 candies and gives 27 to a friend. Draw pictures to show how they regroup to solve the subtraction problem. Share your story and pictures with your family or friends and explain how you solved the problem.
Number Line Adventure: Use a number line to help visualize subtraction with regrouping. Draw a number line from 0 to 100 on a piece of paper. Pick a subtraction problem, like 73 minus 48. Start at 73 on the number line and count backwards to 48, using regrouping when needed. Mark each step on the number line and see how regrouping helps you find the answer.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Today, we’re going to work on a subtraction worksheet with regrouping. Let’s read the directions and the example right away, which I’ll walk you through, and then we can get started with our own problems.
We have some subtraction problems that require regrouping. Let’s solve these problems and circle the correct totals.
Here’s an example to follow. Start at the ones place, which has been labeled for us. If the top number in the ones place is smaller, we must regroup. In this problem, 4 is smaller than 6, so we must regroup.
To regroup, we take 10 from the ones place. This means we change our 30 (or 3) into a 20 (or 2) and add that 10 to the ones place. So, this 10 that we’ve taken plus the original 4 turns it into 14. Now we can do 14 minus 6, which is 8. Then we can do 2 minus 1, which is 1.
Let’s try it with our own problems. The first problem is 51 minus 35. Starting at the ones place, 1 is smaller than 5, so we need to regroup. We take 10 away from the 5, which represents 50, making it 4 (or 40). We add 10 to the ones place, turning 1 into 11.
Now we can subtract: 11 minus 5 is 6, and 4 minus 3 is 1, giving us an answer of 16. Let’s circle 16.
Now, let’s look at our second problem: 65 minus 26. In the ones place, we have 5 and 6. Since 5 is smaller than 6, we need to regroup. We take 10 from the 6, which represents 60, turning it into 5 (or 50). We add 10 to 5, making it 15.
Now we can subtract: 15 minus 6 is 9, and 5 minus 2 is 3, giving us an answer of 39. Let’s circle our answer of 39.
For our third problem, we have 76 minus 38. In the ones place, we have 6 and 8. Since 6 is smaller than 8, we need to regroup. We take 10 from the 7, making it 6. We add that 10 to 6, turning it into 16.
Now we can subtract: 16 minus 8 is 8, and 6 minus 3 is 3, giving us an answer of 38.
One more time to ensure we understand how to subtract with regrouping: we have 82 minus 56. In the ones place, 2 is smaller than 6, so we need to regroup. We take 10 from the 8, turning it into 7. We add that 10 to 2, making it 12.
Now we can subtract: 12 minus 6 is 6, and 7 minus 5 is 2, giving us an answer of 26.
I hope this worksheet helps you practice subtraction with regrouping. Great job, everyone! See you next time! Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our channel, and find links to our apps in the comments below.
