Pictorial Stage of Singapore MathematicsThe student begins the transition to “paper and pencil” with a

technique called branching.

1. 34 + 5

Gemma Meharg PA MAthematics

Separate each numberinto 10s and 1s.

Place 10s outside and1s to the inside.

Left to Right Subtraction with Renaming/Regrouping

The following three problems are demonstrated using 2 different methods of renaming or regrouping for subtraction.

Method 1 is the official Singapore math method of renaming/regrouping in left-to-right subtraction.

Method 2 originated with Stefanie Limpert, a 2nd grade teacher in the Windsor District.
