Subtraction can be simple when you use the Even Tens strategy! First, break the numbers apart into tens and ones. Then, focus on subtracting the tens first to make the problem smaller. For example, if you are subtracting 46 from 72, break 72 into 70 + 2 and 46 into 40 + 6. Subtract the tens (70 - 40 = 30) and then the ones (2 - 6 = -4). Combine the results (30 - 4 = 26) to find the answer!
This method helps you organize the problem and focus on even tens, making subtraction less confusing. It’s a great way to build confidence while practicing math skills! Ready to master subtraction? Download our guide to see more fun examples and practice problems!
