I've been reading over the second grade standards and the focus on two-digit subtraction should be building conceptual understanding - "using strategies based on place value and properties of operations." "using concrete models and drawings" "explain why addition and subtraction strategies work" NOT on the algorithm which happens in third grade. It is essential that in second grade you build this solid foundation or students will struggle in the future. Please don't rush this vital process, too much research has been done to let us know that students are NOT ready for the algorithm.

Some resource you may want to refer to:
 * Young Mathematics at Work Constructing Number Sense, Addition, and subtraction by Fosnot
 * Young Children Reinvent Arithmetic Implication of Piaget's Theory by Kamii
 * Children Mathematics Cognitively Guided Instruction by Carpenter
 * Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics Grade K-3 John Van de Walle
 * Some good addition lessons, Developing Number Concepts Place Value, Multiplication and Division by Richardson
