This sheet keeps the focus on regrouping but pushes into harder zero territory. In Part A, third graders fix problems like 716 − 389 = 337 and the classic 900 − 457 = 553, talking through how to borrow across two zeros. Part B mixes carries and borrows with 463 + 289, 841 − 567, and 605 − 278. Part C closes with true-or-false items about whether 832 − 519 needs any borrowing and whether 199 + 301 really makes 400.

Practicing both carrying and borrow-across-zero side by side keeps either skill from getting rusty.

★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
716 - 389 = 337.
Rewrite: 716 - 389 = 327 because 11 - 8 = 3 in the tens (after borrowing), not 3 tens remaining as shown.
2) Fix the sentence:
254 + 378 = 622.
Rewrite: 254 + 378 = 632 because 5 + 7 = 12 in the tens place, carry 1 to hundreds, so 2 + 3 + 1 = 6 and the tens digit is 3, not 2.
3) Fix the sentence:
900 - 457 = 553.
Rewrite: 900 - 457 = 443 because you must borrow across zeros: 10 - 7 = 3, 9 - 5 = 4, 8 - 4 = 4.
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) 463 + 289 = 752.
2) 841 - 567 = 274.
3) 178 + 354 = 532.
4) 605 - 278 = 327.
★ Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1) 356 + 244 = 600.
True
False
2) When you subtract 832 - 519, you do not need to borrow at all.
True
False
3) The sum of 199 and 301 is 400.
True
False
