Subtraction has one genuine step change in it, and it is not the size of the numbers. It is the moment a child has to take 6 from 3 and go next door for a ten. Everything before that is counting backwards; everything after it is a procedure that has to be taught.
That is why the gentle setting here does not simply use smaller numbers. It checks every problem digit by digit and throws out any that would need regrouping. So you can hold a child on borrow-free practice for as long as it takes, then step up in one clear move.
