Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.10 Regrouping Across Zeros in Subtraction skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

You are subtracting 7,479 from 90,001. Which regrouping is correct (place-value model)?

A8 ten-thousands, 9 thousands, 9 hundreds, 10 tens, 1 one

B8 ten-thousands, 9 thousands, 0 hundreds, 9 tens, 11 one

C8 ten-thousands, 9 thousands, 9 hundreds, 9 tens, 11 one

D9 ten-thousands, 0 thousands, 0 hundreds, 0 tens, 1 one

Solution & Explanation:To subtract 7,479 from 90,001, you regroup across the zeros until each place has enough. The correct regrouped place-value model is 8 ten-thousands, 9 thousands, 9 hundreds, 9 tens, 11 one (it still equals 90,001). That regrouping lets you subtract ones, tens, hundreds, and so on without subtracting a larger digit from a smaller one.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A video game score was 30,002. You lost 20,955 points. What is the new score?

Solution & Explanation:Line up the digits of 30,002 and 20,955 by place value. When you need to subtract from a 0, you regroup (borrow) from the nearest place to the left that is not 0. After regrouping, the top number can be viewed as: 2 ten-thousands, 9 thousands, 9 hundreds, 9 tens, 12 ones. Then subtract each place from right to left to get 9,047.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Compute: 51,003 - 7,921 = ?

Solution & Explanation:Line up the digits of 51,003 and 7,921 by place value. When you need to subtract from a 0, you regroup (borrow) from the nearest place to the left that is not 0. After regrouping, the top number can be viewed as: 4 ten-thousands, 10 thousands, 9 hundreds, 10 tens, 3 ones. Then subtract each place from right to left to get 43,082.
