Hello,
We are using MUS for our main curriculum. My dd has reached the point in the book where she is doing regrouping in subtraction. She does great with their method, but I like to teach her multiple ways of doing things. I taught her how to do mental addition the Singapore way, and she often prefers to do it that way. She switches back and forth between MUS style and Singapore style. I would like to teach her the Singapore way for subtraction as well.
Would someone be kind enough to explain to me how Singapore teaches how to do mental subtraction? If you could give me a sample problem that would be great!
Also, RS teaches a method called Terry's way. I like that too. Is Singapore's method similar to this??
Thanks for your help!!
