Miss Felco introduces regrouping in subtraction, similar to addition. She explains the process using an example problem, 34-6, and demonstrates how to set up the problem on a work mat. The lesson focuses on borrowing from the tens column when there aren't enough ones to subtract. Miss Felco uses a story to help students understand borrowing and highlights the differences between addition and subtraction regrouping. She addresses common mistakes, such as miscounting, and emphasizes the importance of understanding the process before moving to the crossing-out method. The video concludes with a reminder to practice the steps at home.
