Three-Digit Addition and Subtraction Homework

2nd Grade MathPlace Value3 pages

About this worksheet

Sent home with its own reminder box (start with the ones, then the tens, then the hundreds), this 2nd grade homework page practices Common Core 2.NBT.7, addition and subtraction within 1,000. Four additions include a double regroup at 189 + 346 and the no-regroup control 523 + 144. Four subtractions escalate the same way, ending at 700 - 346, where a hundred must break into 9 tens and 10 ones. Two word problems close it: Maya's 345 + 218 seashells and a bakery selling 285 of its 520 cookies. The answer key spells out every trade, such as 12 - 8 = 4 ones on question 6.

How teachers use it

Homework with a safety net

The reminder callout and the narrated key mean parents coach the school method instead of improvising their own.

Preview 700 - 346

Work question 8 in class before the page goes home. Subtracting across a zero is the step that stalls kitchen-table helpers.

Sort by broken place

When pages return, sort errors by which place failed. Ones-place slips and hundreds decompositions need different reteaches.
