This is the toughest sheet of the set. Multiple choice tells the story of a bakery that made 512 + 389 muffins and sold 674, and Liam who saved 463 coins then spent 178 and 129. One item asks which choice (such as 803 − 457) actually requires borrowing across a zero. Part B finishes with three-addend sums like 183 + 429 + 265 and the headline problem 1000 − 586.
Combining multi-step word problems with borrow-across-zero arithmetic is the bridge into Grade 4 multi-digit work.
