About this worksheet

Three-digit addition where at least one column needs a carry, sometimes two.

What kids practice

The same column-by-column method as two-digit problems, now with hundreds. Kids add or subtract the ones, then the tens, then the hundreds. Carrying and regrouping can happen in more than one column, and subtracting from a number with a 0, like 403 - 168, means regrouping a hundred into tens first.

Watch for

  • Forgetting a carried 1 when there are two carries in one problem.
  • In 403 - 168, trying to borrow from the 0 tens instead of going to the hundreds.
  • Lining up the numbers wrong when one has fewer digits.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full adding and subtracting within 1,000 guide for 2nd grade.
