From our teachers' playbook

Trade ten, keep going!

What do kids learn about regrouping?

Regrouping is what happens when a place gets too full or too empty. In addition, ten ones become one ten: 38 + 25 has 13 ones, so we trade ten of them and carry a ten. In subtraction, we break apart a ten to get more ones: 52 − 17 needs more ones, so one ten becomes ten ones. Kids usually start with two-digit numbers in 2nd grade and work up to thousands and millions by 4th grade. The click comes when kids realize carrying and borrowing are just trades. The number stays the same!

How we teach regrouping so it makes sense

Kids who memorize "carry the one" without understanding it tend to slip. These moves make the trade real first.

Make the trade with blocks

Give kids base-ten blocks and a place value mat. When the ones column hits ten, they physically swap ten cubes for one rod. Do it with blocks until kids can say what they're doing before they do it, then move to paper.

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Say what the 1 means

When a kid writes a little 1 above the tens, ask: "What is that 1 worth?" The answer should be "one ten!" Making them say it every time stops regrouping from turning into a magic trick.

Why it works: when kids say the precise math words, their understanding gets sharper, a recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Regroup or not?

Mix problems that need regrouping with ones that don't. Before solving, kids circle the ones that need a trade. Deciding first keeps them from regrouping when they shouldn't.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Regrouping questions from teachers and parents

What is regrouping in math?

Regrouping means trading between place values. In addition, ten ones become one ten (carrying). In subtraction, one ten becomes ten ones (borrowing). The value of the number stays the same.

What grade is regrouping taught?

Most kids learn regrouping with two-digit numbers in 2nd grade, extend it to three digits in 2nd and 3rd grade, and use it with larger numbers in 4th grade.

Is regrouping the same as carrying and borrowing?

Yes. Carrying and borrowing are older names for regrouping. Many teachers now say regrouping or trading because it describes what really happens to the numbers.

Why does my child struggle with subtraction regrouping?

It's often because they subtract the smaller digit from the bigger one in each column, no matter which is on top. Using blocks or money to show breaking a ten into ones helps them see why they need to regroup first.
