A fundamental prerequisite for subtraction with regrouping is a solid understanding of quantities, numbers, and structure when solving math problems. Regrouping is an important step that children practice using various materials, such as counting chips, or simple objects like marbles or gummy bears.

Through these exercises, children learn how to grasp a quantity by subtracting from it. It's also beneficial if children describe what they are doing while working with the materials. This helps teachers and parents recognize whether the children are just counting or truly understanding and engaging with the concept of quantity. After practicing with materials, children can begin solving simple problems with two-digit numbers within 20.
