Two-Step Subtraction

The video tutorial explains how to identify and solve subtraction problems using keywords and examples. It covers two main problems: a video game scoring problem and a driving distance problem. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding keywords like 'fewer' and 'left' to determine the operation needed. It also demonstrates using tools like base 10 blocks and hundreds charts to solve subtraction problems step-by-step.

What operation must be used to solve the problem involving Becky, Miles, and Jamal?

How many points did Miles score if he scored 15 fewer points than Becky, who scored 88 points?

What is the total number of points Jamal scored if he scored seven fewer points than Miles?

Identify the keywords in the problem that indicate subtraction.

How many more miles do the Littles have left to drive after driving 25 miles and then 60 miles?

What is the equation to find out how many miles the Littles have left to drive?

Explain how you would use base 10 blocks to solve the problem of the Littles' trip.
