Visual blocks help you see exactly what's happening! You can physically remove the blocks you're subtracting, making the math concrete instead of abstract.
When you need to subtract more units than you have, you'll need to regroup (borrow) from the tens place. Trade 1 ten-block for 10 unit-blocks first!
Always remove from the same place value you're subtracting. If subtracting 6 units, remove 6 unit-blocks. If subtracting 2 tens, remove 2 ten-blocks.
Absolutely! Base-10 blocks work for any size number. Just add hundreds-blocks (flat squares) and thousands-blocks (cubes) as needed.
It's the same math, just shown visually! The blocks help you understand why the subtraction works the way it does.
