Subtraction with Regrouping: Mastering Zeros in 2nd Grade

The video tutorial teaches kids how to subtract three-digit numbers with zeros in the top number by using regrouping or borrowing. The instructor uses a fun narrative involving donuts and a dragon to engage the audience. The tutorial includes two examples: subtracting 277 from 400 and 195 from 500, demonstrating the process of borrowing from higher place values to solve the subtraction problems. The video concludes with a call to action to share and subscribe.

What is the first step in subtracting numbers with zeros in the top number?
