Study Notes
Common Subtraction Algorithm Errors
- Smaller From Larger: student takes the top digit, which is smaller, from the bottom one, which is larger, instead of regrouping.
- Regroup From Zero: student changes the 0 to a 9, but does not regroup from the next digit to the left.
- Doesn't Decrement Zero: student changes the 0 to a 10 instead of 9 when regrouping across a 0.
- Always Regroup Left: student regroups from the leftmost digit instead of regrouping from the digit immediately to the left.
- Zero – N = N: student writes down the bottom digit as the column answer when the top digit is 0.
- Blank Instead of Regroup: student skips the column and goes on to the next when regrouping is needed.
- Zero Instead of Regroup: student writes 0 as the answer to the column requiring regrouping instead of regrouping.
- Zero After Regroup: student decrements correctly, but writes 0 as the answer instead when a column requires regrouping, only when the top digit is 0.

Description
This quiz covers common errors students make when using the subtraction algorithm in mathematics, such as subtracting the smaller digit from the larger one, regrouping incorrectly from zero, and not decrementing zero when needed.
