Subtraction-Regrouping


My students were having a hard time remembering how/when to regroup with double digit subtraction.  On a whim....I explained that the two digits are partners and if the digit in the one's place needs help, he asks his partner, "Hey Friend, can I have ten?"  This has stuck and seems to help them with regrouping!!
