Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will subtract three-digit numbers requiring regrouping across the tens and hundreds place.

  • Students will apply triple-digit subtraction to solve word problems involving quantities left over.

  • Students will check their regrouping work against the included answer key.

Teaching tips

  • Use the provided answer key for self-checking or peer-checking the 24 regrouping problems before moving to the word problems.

  • Model the bonus problem (7344 minus 4269) as a challenge extension for students who finish the main 24-problem set early.

  • Have students show borrowing marks above each column, since several problems (e.g., 356 minus 139) require regrouping across two place values.

Skills covered

  • Multi-digit regrouping subtraction — students solve 24 vertical triple-digit subtraction problems that require borrowing across place values.

  • Word-problem translation — students convert two short story problems (kittens, carrots) into subtraction equations.

  • Answer verification — an included answer key lets students confirm each of the 24 problems and the bonus problem.
