Lesson 126 of 186

Concept

Okay, same trick as the Addition chapter. You MUST check the number of zeros before you do the math!

🎯 The "Check the Attack" Strategy:
* ONE Zero (Example: - 40): Only attack the TENS! The Hundreds and Ones are safe!
   * 862 - 20 = 842. (6-2).
* TWO Zeros (Example: - 400): Only attack the HUNDREDS!
   * 862 - 200 = 662. (8-2).

Try it

Check the zeros! Which dial is under attack?

Instructions: Figure out if you are subtracting the Tens digit or the Hundreds digit!

Round 1: Tens Attack! (One Zero) 1. 581 - 30 = ___ (500 is safe!) 2. 249 - 10 = ___

Round 2: Hundreds Attack! (Two Zeros) 3. 932 - 400 = ___ (The 32 is safe!) 4. 485 - 300 = ___

Round 3: The Blender! (Mixed Up) 5. 650 - 200 = ___ 6. 471 - 50 = ___ 7. 888 - 400 = ___ 8. 392 - 60 = ___
