Introduction
Math Mammoth Add & Subtract 3 continues the study of adding and subtracting, this time with 3-digit
numbers. The book is suitable to study after the student has learned place value till 1,000. It is best suited
for second and third grade. The goal of the book is that the student is able to add and subtract both
mentally and in columns within 0-1000.

First the book explores mental math topics. We study adding and subtracting whole hundreds, whole tens,
and ones within 0-1000, often comparing to similar problems within 0-100. Also covered is rounding to
nearest ten and how to estimate sums and differences using rounding.

In most lessons, the addition or subtraction is first illustrated with a visual model so the student can learn
the concepts. You can obviously also use manipulatives to this end.

The latter part deals with adding and subtracting in columns within the range 0-1000, explaining in detail
the how you regroup both tens and hundreds (in adding), or how you regroup two times (in
subtracting). Typically the processes of regrouping in addition and subtraction are first practiced using
visual (picture) exercises, to ensure the student also understands what is going on.

The lesson Another Way to Subtract explains a different subtraction algorithm, which may be easier for
some children. This lesson is totally optional, and the teacher or parent should decide whether to teach
this different algorithm.

Besides problems that practice regrouping, many lessons also have word problems, puzzles, and other
types of exercises.

I wish you success with math teaching!

A virtual manipulative that shows regrouping in addition. You can either solve addition problems that are
provided, or create your own. “Lasso” with a mouse ten units, ten tens, or ten hundreds to regroup them.
Choose “Columns = 3” to restrict the work to three-digit numbers.

Base Blocks Subtraction

A virtual manipulative that helps teach borrowing in subtraction. Choose "Create Problem", then click on
the red and blue blocks to create a problem. The number to be subtracted (the subtrahend) is illustrated by
the RED blocks whereas the minuend is by the BLUE blocks. Click BEGIN problem to start solving.
Drag a red block on top of a blue to “subtract” —they cancel each other. Drag bigger place values to the
column on their right to “break them up”—in other words regroup or borrow. Choose “Columns = 3” to
restrict the work to three-digit numbers.

Rounding and Estimating

Is 223 nearer to 220 or 230? Is 256 nearer to 250 or 260? Is 298 nearer to 290 or 300?
Is 247 nearer to 240 or 250? Is 283 nearer to 280 or 290? Is 305 nearer to 300 or 310?

The symbol ≈ means “is approximately”. In the example above,

223 ≈ 220 256 ≈ 260 298 ≈ 300

247 ≈ 250 283 ≈ 280 305 ≈ 310

This process is called rounding to the nearest ten. Actually, 305 is equally close to 300 and
310, but it has been agreed that numbers in the middle are rounded up (rounded to the next ten).

When you are rounding to the nearest ten, the rules are:
z If a number ends in 1, 2, 3, or 4, then round down.
z If a number ends in 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then round up.

Examples (rounding down):

671 ≈ 670, because 671 ends in 1 423 ≈ 420, because 423 ends in 3
544 ≈ 540, because 544 ends in 4 202 ≈ 200, because 202 ends in 2

When you round up, then the tens digit increases by one. Examples:

766 ≈ 770, because 766 ends in 6. 435 ≈ 440, because 435 ends in 5.
The tens digit (6) becomes 7. The tens digit (3) becomes 4.
705 ≈ 710, because 705 ends in 5. 296 ≈ 300 because 296 ends in 6.
The tens digit (0) becomes 1. The tens digit (9) would become 10, which
means we have 10 tens, a hundred. So the
number is rounded to the next whole hundred.

Try to 'visualize' or 'see' the number line in your mind when rounding to the nearest ten.

 We can use rounding to estimate sums and differences.

Estimate the sum 78 + 54.

Since 78 ≈ 80 and 54 ≈ 50, 78 + 54 ≈ 80 + 50 = 130.

Estimate the sum 423 + 69.

Since 423 ≈ 420 and 69 ≈ 70, 423 + 69 ≈ 420 + 70 = 490.

Estimate the difference 377 – 45.

Since 377 ≈ 380 and 45 ≈ 50, 377 – 45 ≈ 380 – 50 = 330.

 Strategy 2: Add up to find the difference.

To find the difference, start at the smaller number, and add up till you get to the bigger
number.
When adding up, first complete the ten, then add whole tens, then ones again.

84 – 37 = ? 92 – 35 = ?
37 + 3 = 40 35 + 5 = 40
40 + 40 = 80 40 + 50 = 90
80 + 4 = 84 90 + 2 = 92

I added 3, 40, and 4 - total 47. 84 – 37 = 47. I added total 57. 92 – 35 = 57.

 Another Way to Subtract
*This lesson is optional

This is another, optional way to subtract in columns. It is simple, yet effective, and always works! Consider this algorithm if
your child has difficulty with the “standard” one, or just for fun and enrichment. However, it does require your child can work
with negative numbers, and subtract 4 − 5 = −1 or 3 − 7 = −4.

The algorithm may be worked from left to right, or from right to left—it won't matter. Simply
subtract each place value normally in columns. However, when the result would be negative,
write it as such, and don't regroup.

Subtract hundreds In tens, normally you'd Subtract ones

normally. need to regroup. Instead, normally.
subtract 1 – 7 = −6.

5 1 4 5 1 4 5 1 4
– 1 7 2 – 1 7 2 – 1 7 2
4 4 -6 4 -6 2
After you have the result “4 -6 2”, you need to “process” the negative in it.
Now, 4 means four hundreds, -6 means take away six tens, and 2 means 2 ones.
So, we calculate 400 − 60 + 2 = 340 + 2 = 342.

In tens, normally you'd In ones, normally you'd

subtract 2 – 7 = −5. subtract 3 – 9 = –6.

In tens, normally you'd In ones, normally you'd
