Subtract Tens from 1,000: what children learn

Subtracting tens from 1,000 is easier by thinking in tens: 1000 is 100 tens, so 1000 - 70 = 930 because 100 - 7 = 93 tens.

Subtract Tens from 1,000: worked example

1000 - 70 = 930

1000 is 100 tens and 70 is 7 tens. 100 - 7 = 93 tens, so the answer is 930.

Subtract Tens from 1,000: how to help at home or in class

Draw a 10 by 10 grid and call every small square one ten, so the whole grid stands for 1,000. For a problem like 1,000 minus 70, colour in seven squares and count the rest by tens, saying the total out loud. A few rounds build the habit of thinking in tens rather than ones. Once the grid is no longer needed, your child can try subtracting numbers that are not whole tens.
