Four-Digit Minus Three-Digit

This worksheet helps students practice subtracting 3-digit numbers from 4-digit numbers that contain zeros. Because the zeros require borrowing from higher place values, students must apply regrouping procedures consistently. These problems reinforce accuracy, attention to detail, and the ability to maintain the integrity of each place-value column. The set includes a variety of subtraction equations that challenge learners while building fluency and confidence. The clean structure keeps the focus on computation and strategy. This worksheet is ideal for upper-elementary students developing mastery of multi-digit subtraction that includes several regrouping steps.
