Column Subtraction: Subtracting 1 Digit Numbers from 2 Digit Numbers

This video tutorial teaches how to subtract 1-digit numbers from 2-digit numbers using the column subtraction method. It emphasizes the importance of lining up numbers correctly and borrowing from the tens column when necessary. The tutorial includes three examples: 24 minus 6, 34 minus 7, and 32 minus 8, each demonstrating the step-by-step process of borrowing and subtracting digits in the ones and tens columns.
