Make Regrouping Super Simple!




Regrouping is one of those skills that can really drive kids crazy. They have to see what is happening visually, or they get lost. Making the whole process visual is the key. This is especially true when they borrow across 0s. Games give kids lots of practice in a fun way, and helps them reinforce these essential skills. Put play into learning, and you've got a winner!  Play makes it super simple!  I hope you enjoy the games and regrouping sites I find most helpful, plus a nice little dragon freebie!  


I LOVE Mr. Nussbaum, and this site is no exception! It's full of fun games and practice for regrouping!


Sometimes learning something is best with a song.  Try these videos out.  It may be just what that one student needs who just doesn't get it any other way.



This one is a Lady GAGA redo...very catchy! Two digit subtraction with regrouping.


This song from NUMBERROCK will stick in your kid's head the rest of the day!  


Two digit number regrouping game



If your students are ready for a subtraction game with three digits, this one is really fun. They will need scratch paper.


This post from What I Have Learned is terrific! 




How about a practice freebie?
