I am looking for the complete chant that helped students regroup in subtraction. It went like this: more on the top no need to stop, more on the floor got next door and get some more. numbers the same, zero the game. I cant' remember the rest of it. Please help.

A different chant

I hadn't heard that. This is what I've used in the past:
BIGGER ON THE BOTTOM? BORROW!

More on top,
No need to stop.
More on the floor,
Go next door and get ten more.
Numbers the same,
Zero is the game.

Regrouping

I love the chant! I'm going to use it when I go back Wed, since we will be starting on that very skill! The thing I have always told my kids is "Is it a NIKE problem?"

If it's bigger on the top, it's a NIKE problem... JUST DO IT!
