Subtraction without borrowing
Taking away smaller numbers from larger numbers column by column, starting from the ones place, without any extra steps.
Subtraction with borrowing (Regrouping)

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to add or subtract in a word problem?
Look for keywords. Words like 'total', 'altogether', and 'sum' mean you should add. Words like 'left', 'remaining', and 'take away' mean you should subtract.
When do I need to carry over in addition?
You carry over when the sum of digits in a single column (like ones or tens) is 10 or more. You write the last digit down and carry the first digit to the next column on the left.
Why do we borrow in subtraction?
We borrow when the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit in a column, meaning we cannot subtract normally. We take 1 from the neighboring column to make the top number bigger.
