The problem
800 - 378 and the zeros will not let you borrow
Subtracting across a zero is the hardest regrouping children meet. The smaller-from-larger shortcut also gives wrong answers.
Subtracting the smaller from the larger
In 660 - 257 a child does 7 - 0 for the ones and ends at 417. The top digit stays on top, so a borrow is needed.
Borrowing across zero
800 has no tens to give. The hundreds break into tens first, then a ten into ones. Many children stop halfway.
Forgetting to reduce
After borrowing, the digit you borrowed from goes down by one. Leaving it as is makes the answer ten or a hundred too high.
The answer choices include these real mistakes, such as 417 and 522. Children check each column, borrow when needed, and add back to check.

Questions
Before you buy.
Do all problems need borrowing?
Most do, and some need two borrows, like 800 - 378.
How can my child check?
Add the answer to the number subtracted. It should equal the starting number.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 8 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
