  • Choose 2-, 3-, or 4-digit numbers, and whether 0 can appear.
  • Answer 10, 20, or 30 flash cards, one at a time, while a timer runs.
  • At the end, review your score, time, and every mistake, then practice just the cards you missed.

Worked example

52 − 27 = 25

2 is less than 7, so regroup 1 ten: 12 − 7 = 5. The 5 tens become 4, and 4 − 2 = 2.

Tip: Check by adding: 25 + 27 = 52.
