How to do it
- Not enough to take away? Take 1 from the next column to the left.
- Cross out and write the new numbers on top.
- Subtract each column.
Teaching tip
For a 0 in the tens, go to the hundreds first. The 0 becomes 10, then 9. This sheet is aligned with Common Core 2.NBT.B.7.
About this worksheet
Three-digit subtraction with regrouping, including numbers with a 0 in the tens.
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.
