Worksheet Description

This worksheet is comprised of a series of subtraction problems, each problem featuring a three-digit number from which a two-digit number is to be subtracted. The problems are neatly arranged in columns, with subtraction signs and lines indicating where the student should write their answers. There is no extra space provided for workings, suggesting that students are expected to perform the calculations in the space given or mentally. The layout is clean and organized, designed to focus the student’s attention on the subtraction task at hand.

The worksheet’s purpose is to strengthen students’ subtraction skills, specifically the borrowing technique that is often necessary when subtracting two-digit numbers from three-digit numbers. It encourages students to understand and manage the regrouping of numbers across place values. Through practice with these exercises, students are expected to develop greater speed and accuracy in subtraction. This foundational skill is crucial for their future mathematical education, including more advanced operations and problem-solving tasks.
