Work through an example

For 52 – 28, exchange one of the five tens for ten ones. Twelve ones minus eight leaves four ones, and four tens minus two tens leaves two tens: 24. Read the instruction before starting, and use a spare sheet for intermediate working if the answer space is not enough.

Review the method as well as the answer

Check subtraction by adding the result to the number subtracted. The sum should equal the starting number. This provides a second way to catch an exchange or subtraction error before consulting the key. Try the exercise page before opening the key. When an answer differs, compare the steps and correct the specific misunderstanding rather than copying every result. The page is focused practice, not a complete assessment of the wider topic.
