Using Place Value to Explain Regrouping:

• "In the number ____, the ____ place has a zero, so I had to borrow from the ____ place."
• "Since there was a zero in the ____ place, I had to borrow all the way from the ____ place."
• "After borrowing, the new number in the ____ place became ____."

Math Discussion Prompts:

• "What happens when there is a zero in the place you need to subtract from?"
• "Why do we need to borrow when subtracting across zeros?"
• "How did you decide where to regroup from?"
• "How can you check your answer to make sure it is correct?"
