Getting better at subtraction

Third grade meets borrowing across a zero, where two columns have to change at once and the middle digit is easy to leave untouched. It is worth slowing down on precisely these questions rather than doing more subtraction generally — the rest of three-digit subtraction is usually already secure by the time this one is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my child find subtraction harder than addition?
Addition can be solved by counting everything; subtraction cannot. It also has no commutative shortcut — 9 − 4 and 4 − 9 differ — so every fact must be learned in the right direction or derived from a known addition fact.
