  1. Glad it was helpful, Sarah! Children should definitely be able to quickly calculate 19 -9 or 19-10. It’s a little bit of a technicality, but I consider those mental math/place-value questions rather than subtraction facts. They’re in the same category as problems like 79-9 or 79-10–questions that kids should be able to answer quickly using place-value knowledge, even if they don’t know them by heart.

    Happy Math!
