By Jeanette N.

Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 20-30 minute independent or partner practice block after you have introduced place value and regrouping with base-ten blocks.
- Discussion question: How do you know whether a word problem needs addition or subtraction, and what words in the problem gave you that clue?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Read each problem aloud together, underline the numbers and the question, and let students use base-ten blocks or drawings before writing the equation.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own one-step problem with regrouping, then trade with a partner to solve.
- Estimated time: About 25 minutes for all ten problems, including the worked example review.
