Learned a New Word Today "Regrouping"

Today was my first day of service learning and I loved it!  I learned a new term and got to observe and help out a class of 2nd graders for a few hours today, total enjoyable experience.  I was in Mr. Martins second grade class today and when I arrived they were doing reading but shortly moved into math.  We handed out markers and whiteboards and Mr. Martin proceeded to teach them how to subtract 2 digit numbers, then 3 digit numbers.  The new vocabulary word or new term I learned was "Regrouping".  I've always called it "Borrowing" because that is what I was taught, I find it interesting to hear a new word being used and see it being understood by the students.
The teacher also used prompts like I do, we do and you do for the students so they knew they're expectations in class and could follow along with the tasks at hand.  I found this a useful tool for letting the students know what was going on and they seemed to need a little reigning in from time to time and I found that these simple words gave enough direction so the students knew exactly what to do.

**Note: I linked the word "Borrowing" above to the multi-subtraction video that we watched in service learning but I had already included it on another post because it was another day and the teacher showed that video that day. I just love the way Math Antics teaches you and explains everything in detail and simply.
Don't subtract me just yet,
