Grade 3 - Subtraction - Over Subtracting

In this video, we'll discuss the "over-subtracting" strategy, a technique that simplifies subtraction by intentionally subtracting more than necessary. After making the problem easier to solve, you simply adjust the result by adding back the extra amount.

This approach can make tricky subtraction problems more manageable and helps students develop a flexible approach to solving math problems. Let's dive into how this strategy works and why it can be a useful tool in your child's math toolkit.
