How to Solve an Addition and Subtraction With Regrouping Word Problem


Problem: Sarah had 635 stickers. She gave 148 stickers to her friend. How many stickers does Sarah have now?


Time needed: 1 minute

A step-by-step guide to solving a multiplying polynomials problem

  1. Identify the operation

    The problem involves subtraction, as Sarah is giving away stickers.

  2. Set up the subtraction equation

    635 – 148 = ?

  3. ine up the numbers by place value

    Line up the numbers by place value (hundreds, tens, ones).

  4. Subtract from right to left


    Ones place: 5 – 8 (borrow from tens) → 15 – 8 = 7.
    Tens place: 2 – 4 (borrow from hundreds) → 12 – 4 = 8.
    Hundreds place: 5 – 1 = 4.

  5. Write the final result

    635 – 148 = 487. Therefore, Sarah has 487 stickers left.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is addition with regrouping?

Addition with regrouping is when you add numbers and need to carry over to the next place value. For example, if you add 58 + 67, you would add the ones (8 + 7 = 15) and write down 5, then carry the 1 to the tens place, making it 1 + 5 + 6 = 12, so the final answer is 125.

How do you subtract with regrouping?

Subtraction with regrouping is when you subtract and need to borrow from a higher place value. For example, in 52 – 27, you can’t subtract 7 from 2, so you borrow 1 from the tens place (turning the 5 into 4), and the 2 becomes 12. Now, 12 – 7 = 5, and 4 – 2 = 2, so the answer is 25.

Why do we need to use regrouping in math?

Regrouping helps us deal with larger numbers by ensuring that we correctly account for each place value. Without regrouping, we’d have trouble adding or subtracting numbers like 99 + 67 or 500 – 275 because we would forget to carry or borrow from the next place value.

What is the purpose of teaching regrouping in math?

Teaching regrouping helps students understand how numbers work at a deeper level, especially when they move to more complex math. It builds their ability to manage multi-digit numbers in addition and subtraction, which are essential skills for solving everyday math problems, like handling money or calculating distances.

What are some examples of addition and subtraction with regrouping?


Examples include:
Addition with regrouping: 248 + 376 = 624
Subtraction with regrouping: 785 – 467 = 318 These examples require carrying or borrowing to get the correct result.

How do I teach regrouping to a 2nd grader?

To teach regrouping to a 2nd grader, start with simple two-digit addition and subtraction problems, and use visuals like place value charts or base-10 blocks to show the concept. Encourage them to practice carrying over in addition and borrowing in subtraction using step-by-step guides to break down the process.

Can I practice addition and subtraction with regrouping online?

Yes, there are plenty of online resources where you can practice addition and subtraction with regrouping. Many interactive quizzes and worksheets allow students to practice solving problems with immediate feedback to help them improve.

What’s the difference between addition and subtraction with regrouping?

In addition with regrouping, you carry over numbers when the sum of a column exceeds 9, while in subtraction, you borrow from a higher place value when a digit is smaller than the one you’re subtracting from. Both require careful handling of place values to get the correct answers.

What grade should be learning addition and subtraction with regrouping?

Addition and subtraction with regrouping is typically taught in 2nd and 3rd grade. By the end of 2nd grade, students begin to learn how to carry over and borrow, and by 3rd grade, they continue to practice and master these skills with larger numbers.

How can I improve my child’s regrouping skills?

To improve regrouping skills, practice regularly with worksheets, games, or interactive apps. Start with simple examples and gradually increase difficulty as your child becomes more comfortable. It also helps to explain the steps clearly and use visual aids like blocks or charts to make the process easier to understand.
