About Subtracting Whole Tens and Hundreds

What this skill is

Subtracting whole tens and hundreds applies single-digit subtraction facts to larger place value units (such as 8 - 3 = 5 meaning 80 - 30 = 50 and 800 - 300 = 500).

When children learn it

Subtracting multiples of 10 is taught in 1st grade (CCSS 1.NBT.C.6). Subtracting multiples of 100 within 1,000 is mastered in 2nd and 3rd grade.

Teaching Tips

  • Use unit language: read 90 - 40 as "9 tens minus 4 tens". Your child immediately knows 9 - 4 = 5, so the answer is 5 tens, which is 50. Unit language removes zero confusion on worksheets.

Common Mistakes

  • Dropping zeros or writing too many zeros in the final answer.
  • Subtracting ones instead of tens when reading horizontally.
  • Struggling when crossing hundred boundaries.
