6. Today’s Lesson
In this lesson, you will subtract numbers with zeros using regrouping.

7. Think and Write
You have learned how to subtract when a number has one zero in it. How do you subtract when there is more than one zero in the greater number?

8. Subtracting Across Zero
When you subtract across zero, it is important to regroup properly. For example, when doing subtraction across zero, you turn the last zero into a ten, and the others into nines because you are taking from them.

9. Subtracting Across Zeros
Place value charts can help when you subtract across zeros. Try 1,400 – 987 using the chart.
Have students write the numbers in the box, then use the boxes to help them line up the problem correctly and regroup.

10. Problem 1
