Multi-Digit Subtraction on Grid Paper

Practicing Subtraction Across Zeros with Inverse Operation Checks

Directions:
  1. Solve each subtraction problem inside the left centimeter grid. Use the top row(s) to record your regrouping (borrowing) steps clearly, especially when regrouping across zeros.
  1. In the right centimeter grid, check your work using the inverse operation (addition). Write your calculated difference in the empty row, add the subtrahend (the number you subtracted), and compute the sum.
  1. Verify whether your check sum matches the original top number (minuend). Mark Yes or No in the verification box.
Place Value Guide: TTh = Ten Thousands | Th = Thousands | H = Hundreds | T = Tens | O = Ones
