2nd grade regrouping: adding and subtracting

Quick answer

In 2nd grade (ages 7–8), children add and subtract two-digit numbers with regrouping, then move to three-digit numbers within 1,000. Start with Homeschool Pop's double-digit lessons, work through Khan Academy examples, and finish with Numberock regrouping songs. Play all on repeat for a math block, or loop one step until it clicks.

What does this 2nd grade addition and subtraction unit cover?

In 2nd grade, children learn to add and subtract within 100 fluently and within 1,000 using place value, including regrouping (carrying and borrowing). By the end a child should solve problems like 47 + 38 or 352 − 168 and explain why a ten or hundred is regrouped.

How does RepeatWatch help with regrouping?

Set an A–B loop around one worked example, such as Khan Academy borrowing a ten, so it replays on its own. Drop the speed to 0.75× for a tricky step, save lesson parts on keys 1–9, use Repeat one on a regrouping song, and Stop after N loops to keep sessions short.

Frequently asked questions

What grade learns addition and subtraction with regrouping?

In the US, regrouping with two-digit numbers is usually taught in 2nd grade (ages 7–8), extending to three-digit numbers by the end of the year. Grade levels vary by country and school, so start with the videos that match your child.

Should my child use base ten blocks or the standard method first?

Many classrooms start with base ten blocks, number lines and expanded form so the idea of regrouping makes sense, then move to the standard written method. This playlist follows that order, from Khan Academy Kids blocks to Math Antics multi-digit lessons.
