20 Practice Problem

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a series of subtraction problems, each involving two four-digit numbers. The numbers are arranged in vertical columns with the larger number on top, which suggests that the students are meant to subtract the lower number from the upper number. Each subtraction problem is contained within its own distinct space, allowing for clarity and focus. At the top of the worksheet, there’s a place for the student to write their name, customizing it for individual use.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept and process of subtraction with regrouping (often called borrowing). The vertical arrangement of the numbers helps students to keep track of the place value as they subtract each column from right to left, and to perform regrouping when the upper digit is smaller than the lower digit. This practice is essential for building the students’ understanding of more complex subtraction and for developing their computational fluency with larger numbers. The goal is to enhance their ability to perform arithmetic operations accurately and confidently.
