Name: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​      Date: ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​      Score: ​​​​​​​​ / 20


Student Instructions

  1. Align by Place Value: Write each number carefully inside the centimeter grid squares. Keep each place value (Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands) in its designated column.
  1. Use the Regrouping Row: Use the top row of boxes above each problem to record your regrouping (borrowing or carrying), especially when subtracting across zeros.
  1. Solve and Check: In the left column (Column 1), solve the subtraction problem. In the right column (Column 2), use the inverse operation of addition (Difference + Subtrahend = Minuend) on the grid to verify your answer.
Place Value Guide: TTh = Ten Thousands | Th = Thousands | H = Hundreds | T = Tens | O = Ones
