Subtraction Regrouping Practice

Aotearoa’s Harbour Festival is nearly ready, but the supply counts need checking. Solve each subtraction problem using regrouping. Show your place-value steps, and check answers by adding the difference to the number subtracted.

Part A: Regroup and solve

Use place-value columns or expanded form. Remember: you can regroup one ten as 10 ones, or one hundred as 10 tens.

1.The festival ordered 72 lanterns. If 38 are hung along the wharf, how many lanterns are still unused? Show your regrouping.

2.A stall prepared 156 paper cups and used 89. How many cups remain? Show how you regroup across the tens and ones.

3.The volunteer team printed 403 festival maps and handed out 127. How many maps are left? Explain why regrouping from the hundreds is needed.

Part B: Check the festival accounts

Read each situation carefully. Write the subtraction and include the unit in your answer.

4.The face-painting stall had 245 stickers. It gave 78 stickers to visitors. How many stickers are left? Then check your answer with addition.

5.The festival raised NZ$524 for a local cause. It spent NZ$167 on supplies. How much money remains?

6.A food stall budget was NZ$800. It spent NZ$356 on ingredients. Choose the correct amount left.

NZ$444
NZ$454
NZ$544
NZ$556

7.A delivery brought 1,250 reusable plates. After 387 plates were sent to food stalls, how many plates remain in storage? Show a method that crosses a zero.

Part C: Choose a strategy

Use a number line, place-value partitioning, or the written column method. Be ready to explain why your strategy works.

8.Find 642 − 278. Show at least one regrouping step and check by addition.

9.The festival counted 2,000 visitors on Saturday and 1,376 on Sunday. How many more visitors came on Saturday?

10.Two helpers calculate 503 − 268. Maia says the answer is 365 because she subtracted the smaller digit from the larger digit in each column. Explain the mistake and give the correct answer.
