[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I noticed a question in my kid's math program that was talking about the borrowing and paying back method for subtraction. It seems to be just teaching it as an alternative method to regrouping. It started stressing out my anxious kid (who understands regrouping and can do subtraction very well the regrouping way) and it doesn't seem very intuitive to me either so I just wanted to check whether kids are actually needing this these days, and if so, why. Is it useful for anything else later? Thanks![/quote]
