Intuition

Understand first, compress later.

Connect symbolic calculation to magnitude, estimation and a visual representation.

Each flat is a hundred, each rod a ten, each cube a one — the same number, thought of in bundles. 2 flats, 4 rods and 3 cubes make 243.
Formal view

You can subtract within 100 when you can recognise the underlying objects, select valid rules and check each step for equivalence or logical implication.

Why does it work?

This skill sits on a prerequisite network. If a step is unstable, repair the missing prerequisite instead of merely doing more items of the same type.
