    SLOBS & LAMPS

    Reetz, L., & Rasmussen, T. (1988). Arithmetic mind joggers. Academic Therapy,
    24(1), 79-82.
    These math strategies are designed to help students remember the regrouping
    process of borrowing and carrying. Slobs is used in subtraction and lamps is used
    in addition.
    Smaller
    Smaller. Follow steps.
    Larger
    Larger. Leap to subtract.
    Off
    Cross Off the number in the next column.
    Borrow
    Borrow, by taking one ten and adding to he next column.
    Subtract
    Subtract.
    This is how one would follow these steps with the following problem:
    72
    - N4N6
    Look at the top number on the right (2) and wee if it is smaller or larger than the
    lower number (6). If it is larger, the student will leap to subtract. If it is smaller,
    as in this example, the student must follow the steps. The next step is to cross off
    the number in the next column, which in this problem is the seven. The B of
    SLOBS stands for borrow, which is the next step. Now borrow one ten from that
    column by reducing the number by one and adding ten to the other number (12).
    The last step is to subtract the six from the twelve. Repeat the steps if there are
    more digits to be subtracted.
    Line
    Line up the numbers
    This is particularly important with extensive columns of numbers and with
    numbers with decimal points.
    Add
    Add the right column of numbers and ask. . .
    More
    More than nine? If so, do more steps.
    Put
    Put the ones below the column.
    Send
    Send the tens to the top of the next column.
    The application of this process is demonstrated in the following problem:
    62.1
    42.
    7.1
    + 4.4
    The numbers have been lined in columns according to their decimal points. In
    adding the right column the sum is 13 and more than nine. Therefore, follow all the
    steps. Put the ones (3) below the column and send the tens (1) to the top of the
    next column. Repeat from Add for each of the next columns.
