Solve each problem below in two ways. Use the U.S. standard algorithm as one way, and choose another strategy for the second way.

• 1 7,249 − 4,832 = _______________

  U.S. standard algorithm: A second way:

• 2 16,207 − 8,112 = _______________

  U.S. standard algorithm: A second way:

• 3 21 , 462 − 8 , 993 _ table with 2 rows and 1 column , row1 column 1 , 21 comma 462 , row2 column 1 , modified negative 8 comma 993 with under bar below , end table
