Subtraction of Multi-Digit Whole Numbers (Part 1)

This video tutorial explains the standard method for subtracting numbers by arranging them vertically and aligning digits according to their place value. It demonstrates the subtraction process step-by-step, starting from the rightmost digit and moving left, ensuring digits of the same place value are subtracted. The tutorial concludes with the final result of the subtraction problem.

What is the first step in the standard method of subtraction?

• Align the numbers vertically by place value

• Align the numbers horizontally

• Subtract the largest digit first

• Add the numbers together

When subtracting numbers, why is it important to align them by place value?

• To avoid using a calculator

• To make the numbers look neat

• To ensure digits of the same value are subtracted

• To make the subtraction faster

In the subtraction process, which direction do you subtract the digits?

• From left to right

• From right to left

• From top to bottom

• From bottom to top

What do you do if the second number has fewer digits than the first number in a subtraction problem?

• Ignore the missing digits

• Add zeros to the second number

• Copy the remaining digits from the first number

• Subtract the missing digits as zero

What is the final result of subtracting 32 from 246?

• 214

• 204

• 234

• 224
