Subtraction involves taking away numbers or adding the inverse. Regrouping means borrowing from the tens place to help subtract in the ones place when the top number is less than the bottom number. When subtracting, always start with the ones place and regroup by borrowing from the tens place if needed before moving to the tens place. Practicing subtraction problems with and without regrouping helps learn this important math skill.
