# Take away without losing the place values


## Access

Show, draw, type, sign, use your usual communication or direct an agreeing helper. Choose quiet/private work, switch a route, pause, pass or finish. One useful part is enough. A helper can read the exact words or scribe your choices; supplying an operation, count, regrouping or reason is mathematical help and is named. No speed, neatness, speech, handling or device requirement.

## Adult model

806 = 7 hundreds + 9 tens + 16 ones. Subtract 2 hundreds, 4 tens, 7 ones to leave 5 hundreds 5 tens 9 ones = 559. Check 247 + 559 = 806. A count-up check is 247→250 (+3)→800 (+550)→806 (+6), total 559.

## Child direction

Can a repair drawer show what is left clearly? Pick one route. Show what the numbers mean, try a way, then check one result. You can stop after a useful part.

## Common tangle

0 tens blocks the subtraction; check the roles and equivalent quantities, rather than memorising a printed answer.

## Day

54

## Different guided practice

A made-up card store has 704 cards, uses 168. Guide 6 hundreds 9 tens 14 ones minus 1 hundred 6 tens 8 ones = 536. Or subtract 100, 60, 8 in chunks.

## Check and teach the entry relationship

Ask for 52 − 17 and whether one ten can become ten ones. If not, teach 30 − 8 as 2 tens 10 ones minus 8 = 22; return to 52 − 17 = 35.

## Hook

Can a repair drawer show what is left clearly?

## Materials

Broad paper, labelled place-value/part-whole/number-line alternatives as suitable; optional familiar safe counters; usual communication. No hundreds of loose marks, purchases or physical handling required. Keep adult model and own work separate.

## Next ordinary teaching

If 0 tens blocks the subtraction, teach 102 − 38 by trading one hundred for tens, then one ten for ones. Guide 64; invite 201 − 46 = 155.

## Complete fictional source

A fictional repair drawer starts with 806 labels. It uses 247 labels once. Find labels left.

## One own invitation

For 603 − 157, show what remains and a connected check.

## Partial curriculum opportunity


1. AC9M4N06

## Purpose

Subtract through regrouping or a connected count-up check.

### Complete task

A fictional drawer has 63 labels and uses 28. Find what remains with regrouping.

### Entry or access

No actual paint or material handling is needed.

### Title

Small paint labels

### After own work: adult practice possibility

35 labels; 28 + 35 = 63.

## Session stages


1. 
### Instruction

Can a repair drawer show what is left clearly? Read the source. Ask what the numbers count and the wanted quantity. Ask for 52 − 17 and whether one ten can become ten ones. If not, teach 30 − 8 as 2 tens 10 ones minus 8 = 22; return to 52 − 17 = 35.

2. 
### Instruction

806 = 7 hundreds + 9 tens + 16 ones. Subtract 2 hundreds, 4 tens, 7 ones to leave 5 hundreds 5 tens 9 ones = 559. Check 247 + 559 = 806. A count-up check is 247→250 (+3)→800 (+550)→806 (+6), total 559. Show on separate adult paper. Pause after one transformation; invite explanation before showing the next.

### Instruction

A made-up card store has 704 cards, uses 168. Guide 6 hundreds 9 tens 14 ones minus 1 hundred 6 tens 8 ones = 536. Or subtract 100, 60, 8 in chunks. Offer one complete route below, not all three as a quota. Let the learner select a representation and pause or switch.

### Instruction

For 603 − 157, show what remains and a connected check. Receive an available response before staff key. If 0 tens blocks the subtraction, teach 102 − 38 by trading one hundred for tens, then one ten for ones. Guide 64; invite 201 − 46 = 155.

## What to look for

Renamed values conserve 603; subtraction and inverse agree with 446 labels/items left.

## After own work: staff possibility

446; 157 + 446 = 603. Regroup 603 as 5 hundreds 9 tens 13 ones.

## Status

Proposed 35-minute shape, unpiloted and freely reorderable; resource day not school calendar requirement.
