Structured Small-Group Math Routine · 3rd Grade
What This Resource Is
Get students trading tens with confidence. This free 8-page routine gives you a reusable visual anchor, explicit I Do modeling with a SAY/DO/CHECK script, guided and independent practice with scaffolded regrouping boxes, and an exit ticket — ready to print and use tomorrow.
When to Use It
When introducing or reteaching multi-digit subtraction with regrouping, before moving to independent practice.
What Students Practice
Exchanging a ten for ten ones (and the reverse) using a visual anchor, then recording the same process with the standard algorithm.
How to Use It in Small Group
Model the first problem with the visual anchor (I Do), solve a second problem together (We Do), then have students complete the last two independently while you observe (You Do).
