Subtract Two-Digit Numbers (With Decomposing)
This number sense lesson focuses on subtracting numbers (two digits long). The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine if regrouping is needed. Then, they subtract digits in the ones place, and in the tens place. Finally, students read the problem and sum aloud. In addition to the lesson, there are "lining up subtraction" flashcards along with seven pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

Solve Addition Word Problems
2.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
2.NBT.72.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
