6. Earl has $729 in his checking account. After he writes a check to the
bookstore for $249, how much is remaining in his account?



Teaching Notes:
D?
• Some students need to practice basic addition and subtraction facts at home in order to master them.
• Some students need to write the carry digit in order to get the correct answer for addition with carrying.
• Many need to write the borrowing step in order to get the correct answer for subtraction with borrowing.
• Point out that the commutative property deals with the order of the addends, whereas the associative
property deals with the grouping (order does not change) of the addends.

??
Point out that the commutative and associative properties do not generally apply to subtraction problems.


Answers: 1a) 65, b) 1468, c) 87,776; 2a) 143, b) 9252, c) 13,890; 3) 13,316; 4a) 47, b) 32, c) 613; 5a) 39, b) 778,
