Multi-Digit Subtraction | Using the Standard Algorithm

The video tutorial introduces the standard subtraction algorithm, emphasizing the importance of aligning place values to ensure accurate subtraction. It provides examples of subtraction problems, demonstrating the process step-by-step. The tutorial also explains the concept of borrowing when subtracting larger numbers from smaller ones and offers methods to verify the correctness of subtraction results. Key terms such as minuend, subtrahend, and difference are reviewed to solidify understanding.

Why is it important to align numbers by place value in subtraction?

• To make the numbers look neat

• To avoid using a calculator

• To make the subtraction process faster

• To ensure correct subtraction of each place value

What is the first step in solving a subtraction problem using the standard algorithm?

• Subtract the tens place first

• Align the numbers by place value

• Subtract the largest digit first

• Add the numbers together

In the subtraction problem 7856 - 4241, what is the result?

• 3615

• 3626

• 3616

• 3625

When subtracting 5103 - 2046, why is borrowing necessary?

• Because the hundreds place is larger

• Because the numbers are too large

• Because the ones place has a smaller number on top

• Because the tens place has a zero

What is the result of borrowing from the tens place in the problem 5103 - 2046?

• The tens place becomes 10

• The hundreds place becomes 9

• The ones place becomes 13

• The tens place becomes 9

How can you verify your subtraction result using the standard algorithm?

• By subtracting the difference from the minuend

• By dividing the minuend by the subtrahend

• By adding the difference to the subtrahend

• By multiplying the difference by the subtrahend

What are the three main parts of a subtraction problem?

• Addend, sum, and product

• Factor, product, and remainder

• Dividend, divisor, and quotient

• Minuend, subtrahend, and difference
