problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit the ways students look for to use the structure of two-digit numbers to subtract (MP7). These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students will need to be able to find the difference between the estimate and actual measurement of an object.
