Spring is the time of year I'm struggling through subtraction with regrouping in my classroom. Whew, what a tough concept to tackle. This year we are learning regrouping with base ten blocks, expanded form, and number lines. The kids won't use the algorithm until third grade, at least in our district. It was definitely a change from how I'm used to teaching it, but it has made such a difference in their understanding. This is always a fun scoot for practicing this skill. The space on the recording sheet allows students to use either the algorithm or another method for solving the problems.
I find that my students buy into activities more frequently when they're seasonal or festive. Try out these St. Patrick's Day and Easter themed scoots to keep your kiddos engaged. Spring is the home stretch when you're just trying to make it to spring break or the end of the ear!
