Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Add and Subtract Numbers Within 1000 (teacher made)
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "3-Digit Column Subtraction" with several subtraction problems and challenges. However, since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific numbers or problems in your image.

But based on the layout and content described (three pages of 3-digit column subtraction problems, with missing numbers to find, word problems, and illustrations), I can help you solve typical types of problems that appear on such worksheets.

Let me walk through how to solve these kinds of problems step by step, and then you can apply it to your specific questions.

🔢 Typical Problems on This Worksheet:



#### 1. 3-Digit Column Subtraction
These are problems like:
```
456
- 237
-----
```

Step-by-step solution:

1. Start from the rightmost digit (ones place).
2. Subtract each column (ones → tens → hundreds).
3. If the top digit is smaller than the bottom one, borrow from the next higher place.

Example:
```
456
- 237
-----
```

- Ones: 6 - 7 → Can’t do, so borrow 1 from tens.
- 16 - 7 = 9
- Tens: 4 (after borrowing) - 3 = 1
- Hundreds: 4 - 2 = 2

Answer: 219

#### 2. Find the Missing Numbers (Challenge)

You might see something like:
```
4 _ 8
- _ 3 5
-------
1 4 3
```

We need to find the missing digits.

Let’s solve this step by step:

Start from the rightmost column (ones):

- 8 - 5 = 3 → So ones digit is correct

Now tens column:
- Let’s say the top tens digit is X.
- We have: X - 3 = 4 → But if X < 3, we must borrow.

Wait: The result is 4 in the tens place.

So:
If no borrow: X - 3 = 4 → X = 7
But check if possible.

Try:
Tens: 7 - 3 = 4 → OK
Hundreds: 4 - ? = 1 → So ? = 3

So:
```
4 7 8
- 3 3 5
-------
1 4 3
```

Check: 478 - 335 = 143 → Correct!

So missing digits: 7 and 3

#### 3. Word Problems

Example:
> "There are 200 children in a school. 88 go to a trip. How many are left?"

Solution:
200 - 88 = ?

```
200
- 88
----
```

Borrow:
- 0 - 8 → borrow from tens, but tens is 0 → borrow from hundreds.
- Hundreds: 2 → becomes 1, tens: 0 → becomes 10
- Now borrow from tens: tens become 9, ones become 10
- 10 - 8 = 2
- Tens: 9 - 8 = 1
- Hundreds: 1 - 0 = 1

Answer: 112

#### 4. Another Challenge:
> "A baker baked 320 loaves. He sells 198. How many does he have left?"

320 - 198 = ?

```
320
-198
----
```

- Ones: 0 - 8 → borrow → 10 - 8 = 2
- Tens: 1 (after borrow) - 9 → can’t → borrow from hundreds
- Hundreds: 3 → 2, tens: 11 → 11 - 9 = 2
- Hundreds: 2 - 1 = 1

Answer: 122

🟩 Summary of Tips:



- Always subtract right to left.
- Borrow when needed (remember: borrow 1 from the next column).
- For missing numbers: work backwards from the answer.
- Double-check your answers with addition (e.g., 478 - 335 = 143 → 143 + 335 = 478)
