Maths Made Easy: Make subtraction with regrouping click for your child
A fun, step-by-step school that turns the most dreaded primary maths skill — subtraction with regrouping — into something every child can genuinely master and enjoy.
"When a child sees the why behind regrouping, the how takes care of itself — and the confidence that follows changes everything."— Nisky
What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Understand place value well enough to know exactly why regrouping is needed before they touch a pencil
- Correctly regroup across the tens and hundreds columns without confusion or guesswork
- Use visual models (base-ten blocks, number lines) to check and self-correct their own answers
- Solve multi-digit subtraction problems — including zeros in the top number — with calm, step-by-step confidence
- Apply regrouping skills to real-world word problems they'll actually encounter in class
- Demonstrate fluency through timed practice with accuracy rates that meet or beat grade-level benchmarks

The curriculum
What's inside your school
6 modules · 15 lessons
Place Value Power: Building the Foundation
Before a single subtraction problem is attempted, learners build rock-solid place value understanding — the exact knowledge children need to understand why regrouping exists, not just how to do it mechanically.
- 1.1Ones, Tens, and Hundreds — What They Really MeanIncluded
- 1.2Trading and Exchanging: The Heart of RegroupingIncluded
Seeing Subtraction: Visual Models Before the Algorithm
Children develop a visual and conceptual picture of subtraction — using base-ten block drawings and number lines — so that every step of the written algorithm has a concrete image behind it.
- 2.1Subtraction With Base-Ten Block DrawingsIncluded
- 2.2Jumping Back on the Number LineIncluded
Regrouping in the Tens Column: The Core Skill
Children learn the step-by-step written algorithm for regrouping from the tens column into the ones column — first with visual support, then independently — for 2-digit subtraction problems.
- 3.1When the Bottom Is Bigger: Recognising When to RegroupIncluded
- 3.2Step-by-Step Regrouping: Tens Into OnesIncluded
- 3.3Building Fluency: 2-Digit Regrouping PracticeIncluded
Regrouping Into the Hundreds: Scaling Up
Children extend the regrouping concept to 3-digit numbers, learning to regroup from the hundreds into the tens column and to handle double-regrouping problems with calm, methodical confidence.
- 4.1Hundreds Into Tens: Regrouping the Big ColumnsIncluded
- 4.2Double Regrouping: Tens and Hundreds TogetherIncluded
Zeros Are No Problem: Regrouping Across Zeros
The single most confusing scenario for children — a zero in the top number — gets its own dedicated module. Learners develop a foolproof method for regrouping across one or more zeros, eliminating the most common source of errors in upper-primary subtraction.
- 5.1Understanding Why Zeros Create a ChallengeIncluded
- 5.2Regrouping Across a Single ZeroIncluded
- 5.3Regrouping Across Multiple ZerosIncluded
Real-World Fluency: Word Problems and Benchmarks
Children apply every regrouping skill to authentic word problems and timed fluency drills — building the calm confidence and classroom-ready speed that meets or beats grade-level benchmarks.
- 6.1Reading Word Problems Like a Maths DetectiveIncluded
- 6.2Mixed Problem Mastery: Putting It All TogetherIncluded
- 6.3Timed Fluency and Benchmark SuccessIncluded
Who it's for
Is this you?
The Homework-Struggling Parent
Their child bursts into tears every time a regrouping problem appears, and they need a clear, calm framework to work through it together at the kitchen table.
The Homeschooling Mum
She's covering the full curriculum herself and wants a structured, visual resource that does the heavy lifting for this notoriously tricky topic.
The Primary School Teacher
They're looking for a reliable intervention resource to use with a small group of students who didn't consolidate regrouping the first time around.
The Proactive Tutor
They take on multiple students at different levels and need a proven step-by-step sequence they can trust to fill this specific gap efficiently.
The Gap-Filling Grandparent
They help with homework a few afternoons a week and want to feel confident — not confused — when regrouping problems come up.
The Ahead-of-the-Curve Dad
His child is about to start learning regrouping at school and he wants to give them a head start so the concept lands easily first time.

Nisky
I know exactly what it feels like to watch a child you care about hit a wall in maths.
Maybe they were doing fine — counting, adding, even simple subtraction — and then regrouping arrived and everything seemed to fall apart. The homework sessions got longer. The confidence got shorter. And you started to wonder whether you were explaining it the right way, or whether there was a better way that nobody had shown you yet.
There is. And that's what this school is built around.
I've spent years working with young learners who were told — sometimes in not so many words — that they just "weren't maths people." What I found, every single time, is that the problem wasn't the child. It was the explanation. Regrouping gets taught as a set of steps to memorise: cross this out, write that there, carry the one. But without the picture of what's actually happening to those tens and units, those steps feel random. Of course kids forget them. Of course they panic.
When you build the concept visually first — when a child can see that they're swapping one ten for ten ones before they ever write a digit — the procedure becomes obvious. It stops being magic and starts being logic. And kids who understand the logic don't forget it.
Everything in this school has been designed for real life: short lessons that fit into a busy afternoon, clear language that parents and teachers can use confidently, and practice that builds speed after it builds understanding (not instead of it).
If your child is stuck on regrouping right now, I want you to know: this is one of the most fixable problems in primary maths. Give me a few weeks, and I'll show you exactly how.
