Word Problems Subtraction Math for 2 nd Grade

Hello everyone, let's open the worksheet. Don't forget to like this video and subscribe To our channel you can find the link to this app in the comments below Today we're going to be looking at some spooky Halloween word problems what's really spooky about these word problems they contain the words less and fewer But hopefully after watching this video lesson these two words less and fewer will be little bit less scary Let's read the directions and get started right away Solve the word problems below and check the correct total Now when read word problem I'm always looking out for key words or important information, so let's underline everything we think might be important so that way it's easy to go back into the word problem when were solving the Which uses 42 dragon skills to make magical potion She uses 19 les crow feathers then dragon scales in her magic potion How many crow feathers does she use? so know she uses 42 dragon scales we're just gonna call them skills and She you also uses 19 less Feathers the question wants to know How many feathers does she use it has that tricky word in it less than How can we figure out how many crow feathers she really has Well when you see the word less than that usually signals subtraction So we took her 42 dragon scales and we subtracted Because she said there's 19 less crow feathers so to find out how many? Crow feathers there are we need to take away 19, and then that'll tell us how many crow feathers She has so let's subtract using regrouping to figure out how many crow feathers she has Let's look closely at the ones place Well in the ones place. see that the 2 is smaller than the 9 so we're gonna have to regroup Let's take 10 from 4 which really represents the number 40 then turn it into 3 Which really represents the number 30 because it's an intense place Well add the 10 that we took to 2 and that becomes 12 Now we can just subtract the ones place 12 minus 9 9 10 11 12 12 minus 9 is 3 and if we subtract the tens place 3 minus 1 1 2 3 3 minus 1 is 2 We know she has croatian figures for 42 minus 19 is 23 meaning 19 less than 42 Is 23 giving us 23 crow feathers in her magical potion? So one less scary tip is that when you see the word in less than the words less than You can usually bet that it is subtraction problem Let's take look at our second word problem again underlining the important facts and details On the first floor of haunted house the ghost hunter found sixty-five ghosts he found twenty-eight fewer ghosts on the second floor How many ghosts did he find on the second floor? Okay, so know he found sixty-five ghosts on the first floor He also found twenty-eight viewer ghosts on the second floor Now again when see that word you were my mining immediately thinks fewer Less than we were taking away so that must mean subtraction so for this problem 28 fewer ghosts we're gonna have to subtract Minus 28 to find out how many ghosts there were on the second floor? because there was 28 fewer ghosts or 28 less ghosts on the second floor, so Again, let's subtract with reroofing. Let's look closely at the ones place again in the ones place. We have five and an eight Five is smaller than eight so we are gonna have to regroup We should be experts at this by now, so let's take 10 from 6 which represents 60 and turn it into 5 Which will now represent 50? we'll take the 10 that we took from the tens place and give it to the five in the ones place and 5 plus 10 is Now we can just subtract 15 minus 8 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 15 minus 8 is 7 and now we'll subtract the tens place 5 minus 2 2 3 4 5 5 minus 2 is 3 giving us an answer of boys and girls remember when your solvent Halloween or any word problems for that matter Look and underline at the important information in the word problem Remember those scary words like fewer them, or less than usually mean you're going to be subtracting in that word problem Boys and girls remember your grouping strategies and great work.
