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

[Krystal Guillory]

If the child can do it, we teach keep the numbers in our head. If a sighted person doesn't write the numbers borrowed above the problem once they can keep it in their head. I just start early with that method and most prefer it. 

Thanks,
Krystal
