Subtract Whole Hundreds: what children learn

Whole hundreds subtract like ones: 7 - 3 = 4, so 700 - 300 = 400 and 745 - 300 = 445.

Subtract Whole Hundreds: worked example

745 - 300 = 445

Take away 3 hundreds: 7 - 3 = 4 hundreds. The tens and ones stay the same, so the answer is 445.

Subtract Whole Hundreds: a common mistake to watch for

Kids sometimes subtract the hundreds from the tens or ones by mistake.

Subtract Whole Hundreds: how to help at home or in class

Write a number such as 826 and slide a sticky note over the last two digits. Only the 8 is visible, so your child takes away 3 from it and then lifts the note to read the answer. After a few rounds, drop the sticky note and ask them to cover the digits with a finger in their mind. They are ready to move on when the tens and ones stay put automatically.
