Subtract from 1,000: what children learn
Subtracting from 1,000 means trading across three places: 1000 becomes 9 hundreds, 9 tens, and 10 ones. Then 1000 - 367 = 633.
Subtract from 1,000: worked example
1000 - 367 = 633
1000 is 9 hundreds, 9 tens, and 10 ones. 10 - 7 = 3 ones, 9 - 6 = 3 tens, and 9 - 3 = 6 hundreds. So 1000 - 367 = 633.

Subtract from 1,000: how to help at home or in class
Play money makes the trading physical. Lay out ten 100 bills for 1,000, then let your child swap one 100 for ten 10s and one 10 for ten 1s before taking away the amount in the problem. Count what remains and check by adding it back to the amount taken. When your child can describe each swap without the bills, show the shortcut of subtracting from 999 and then adding one.
