Nothing should be presented as a trick; there is always a solid reasoning behind every trick in mathematics.
For the subtraction problem 352 – 198 , one could increase both numbers by 2 and have an easy subtraction, 354 – 200, that can be done mentally.

I am looking for ways to better teach my kiddos as well as getting them there quicker.

Thank you Amy! I hope your students are able to understand and apply this strategy and that it makes things easier for them. 🙂

I’m going to explore how to help fourth graders understand this strategy. It seems on par with how useful it is for student to use the strategy of doubling and halving in multiplication.

Thanks for sharing at the Thoughtful Spot!
