What kids do

“Add or subtract. Line up the ones, tens and hundreds. Regroup when you need to!”

Teacher tip

Graph paper under this sheet helps kids keep the hundreds, tens and ones lined up.

How to use it

  • Use it as a timed sheet once a week and have kids chart their own score.
  • Let partners check each other with a calculator after they finish.
  • Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.

Watch for

Subtracting the smaller digit from the bigger one in each column (54 − 27 = 33). Ask kids to say “Can I take 7 from 4?” before they write.

Talk about it

  • Show me one problem where you had to regroup. Why?
  • Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?

Take it further

Have kids make their own fact family triangles for a partner to solve.
