Teacher Feedback on Subtraction with Regrouping:

❤️ “I used this resource to teach a child from Somalia how to regroup with subtraction. The explicit instruction was instrumental in helping the child conceptualize regrouping. I also appreciate the numerous sheets available for additional practice. Thank you!” -Baudelina A.

❤️ “These were extremely helpful. Especially the subtraction across zero pages. Thanks for a great resource!”

❤️ “So helpful! My students are subtracting with regrouping, and they never thought they would!”

❤️ “Absolutely fabulous resource! It outlines very specific steps to follow to help students master subtraction with regrouping. It's one of the best resources I've ever bought on TPT. Thank you!”

❤️ “Very great! So helpful in my special education classroom. Thank you so much! This has really changed my students’ outlook on the skill of subtracting.” -Nicole S.

❤️ “I can't say enough about this resource! It was a HUGE unit and provided me with weeks of instruction to do with my students. THANK YOU!”

❤️ “I’m using this with a small group who is ready to start regrouping! They love it! Even the ones who aren't as ready are coming, and asking to learn more too! I have a full blown math lesson going on during breakfast time now! :)”

❤️ “This packet is probably the most useful thing I have purchased on TPT. I love it! It has helped so many of my students.”

❤️ “What a relief! All the work was done for me, and the students were motivated to complete the assignment! Students loved the clear step by step visuals!" -Fadwa M.

❤️ “This is a good resource to use for my students that need less cluttered work practice. It also has just enough problems per page to be challenging without being overwhelming for my students." -Melissa N.

❤️ “I loved how step-by-step this curriculum is created. Requires no prep time or preparation and provides language for the teacher which is great for my Aide to run her own centers independently." -Cassandra B.

❤️ “This resource is amazing!! I have used it with my 3rd grade math intervention groups and my students are actually adding and subtracting with borrowing and regrouping. I have seen such a huge growth since using these pages! I highly recommend if you are looking to work on addition and subtraction goals." -Kelsie L.

❤️ “AMAZING product! Used in a resource room and students and their parents kept commenting how they wished the classroom teacher used this program. HIGHLY recommend!" -Jennifer J.

❤️ “Fantastic additional resource for my 2nd and 3rd graders. I love the size of the font and the progressive manner that the concepts are presented. Multiple digit subtraction is a very difficult concept for my kids and this was extremely helpful." -K.R.

❤️ “This is SO helpful. I have been having students use this as practice and mini-lessons in conjunction with our district required program. It's been really helpful, makes sense for them, and steps between skills very logically. It saved me a bunch of time putting things together. Thank you." -The Classroom Under the Stairs

❤️ “My students really enjoy this math. It is easier for them to understand than the curriculum the school is using. They need something very clear and straightforward and this is IT!" -Tracey M.

❤️ “I love using these books. Everything is broken down and explained. I can even send them home and have their parent help them because the parent can just follow the lesson in the book." -Laura G.

❤️ “What a wonderful, thought out and easy to use curriculum! I appreciate that everything you need is on the student sheet and there is not a lot of prep involved. Using in Resource Room with multiple levels and lessons going at the same time, this makes teaching math so much easier!" -Filling in the Pieces

❤️ “My students and I love this resource! The familiar layout from day to day helps us be comfortable with doing the work independently. New concepts are introduced in small steps and with excellent, clear instructions. There is nothing unnecessary on the page. We used the No Art pages because we are in Middle School. This resource has helped get us past places where we were stuck, and helped us learn new skills fairly quickly." -Cynthia H.

❤️ “This has been wonderful for my high school self-contained math class!" -Simple Special Ed

❤️ “The repetition, clear instructions, and incremental adding of skills and information has been invaluable for my struggling students." -Kimberly D.

❤️ “When my son started learning math in elementary schools they allowed him to do math from left to right. Well it worked because he never had to do regrouping and borrowing. Once I realized this he was in 5th grade in an autism cluster when they started having him do numbers that would require borrowing and regrouping. I started working with him and fought to not allow teachers to have him practice his error (allowing him to do an entire worksheet incorrectly and then having him erase and do it again. It wasn't until the end of 8th grade when he would finally do math in the correct direction most of the time and he learned addition with regrouping. Now that he is home and in virtual school due to covid I am able to watch him and he was struggling. I bought this packet and started doing it with him. I am so excited that he is mastering it. I am the one getting laughed at when I don't notice the plus signs thrown in. Two digits became easy when we got to three digit he kept wanting to go 2 over or he would add 10 but not subtract it from the number next door but with all the repetition and repetition and repetition he was grasping it. When across zeros came that was another thing to overcome but we are doing it. I know when we get to the end he will have this mastered. I have used so many programs both online and on paper with my son and this is by far the best experience I have ever had and have recommended it to many teachers. I highly recommend this to all teachers with kids that aren't grasping subtraction, special kids or kids needing remediation." -Sharon D.

❤️ "I so much appreciate that your free placement assessment pinpointed that this was an area of need for one of my fifth grade students. Yes, the standard is below grade level, but I don't want her moving on to middle school without first becoming solid with this foundational skill! I really appreciate the version without the clip art so that she doesn't feel like it's too young for her. The repeated practice was so necessary for her to master the skill. This is a truly wonderful resource. Thank you so much!" -Susan H.

❤️ "I used this with my students I provide math intervention for in my classroom that are two or more levels below peers in math. I love how it teaches the steps for regrouping! I also greatly appreciate the sequential steps, added word problems to go with the skill being taught, and that the worksheets have just enough problems for the students to practice the skill, but not so much that is is overwhelming for my students. Fantastic resource!" -Larrilee L.
