[Pibe-division] borrowing in subtraction problems with Nemeth code

[Nate Kile]

Sorry to change the topic, but I am trying to get a hold of Greg from this list. I would like to ask him a question about convention. I can be reached at heavens4real at gmail.com <mailto:heavens4real at gmail.com>

Yes, it is what I am asking. If the problem is 242 - 163 would you have them use the cancellation marks around the numbers that need to be changed? It just seems like so much work. I have been blind all of my life but did not learn or use Nemeth code in school.

Hi Marianne,
I typically only showed my students proper Nemeth code for borrowing so they could understand what is in the textbook. I never had them “cross out” anything using the proper Nemeth symbols when writing their problems. Is this what you are asking or am I missing the mark?
