3 - Digit Subtraction Split


Materials: Subtraction Split Boards (3-digit - 3 - digit)





  1. Choose a line of four problems from the Subtraction Split board (vertically,
    horizontally, or diagonally).

  2. Solve each problem by decomposing the addends into hundreds,tens and ones
    before subtracting. Show your work. Sometimes you will need to split the larger
    number so that each part is larger than each part of the smaller number.

764 - 436 700 + 60 + 4

Example 2:

50
700 + 60 + 14


  • 400 + 30 + 6
    300 + 20 + 8 = 328


734 - 447

700 + 30 + 4


  • 400 + 40 + 7 becomes


600 120
700 + 30 + 14
