Three Digit Addition and Subtraction with Regrouping is a Grade 2 mathematics worksheet that builds place-value understanding and computation fluency with three-digit numbers. Students answer nine multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question covering how adding or subtracting 10 and 100 changes a number, solving addition and subtraction problems, and identifying regrouping as moving a group of ten to the next place value. The worksheet also applies these skills to practical problems, including finding change from a purchase and determining how many baseball cards remain after some are given away. The final written-response prompt asks students to explain why rewriting a horizontal problem vertically is important, giving teachers an opportunity to assess mathematical reasoning as well as calculation. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key and is designed for Grade 2 practice, review, or a quick check of students’ understanding of regrouping and place value.

move a group of ten to the next place value
This Grade 2 worksheet uses nine multiple-choice items and one open-ended response to practise adding or subtracting 10 and 100, solving three-digit addition and subtraction problems with regrouping, and recognizing what regrouping means. Students also apply the computations to a money-change problem and a subtraction word problem, then explain why a horizontal equation may be rewritten vertically.
Begin by modeling how adding or subtracting 10 or 100 changes a specific place value, then connect that idea to vertical computation and regrouping. Work through one numerical problem and one word problem together, asking students to explain which place value changes and why a group of ten moves to the next place. Use the final open-ended question as a discussion prompt about organizing horizontal problems vertically.
Watch for students changing the wrong place when adding or subtracting 10 or 100, especially confusing the tens and hundreds digits. In the three-digit computations, students may skip a regrouping step or choose a distractor that reflects an incorrect subtraction. For the money problem, check that students subtract the purchase price from $3.00 correctly, and in the open-ended response look for an explanation of how vertical form helps align place values.
On Wayground, assign it as a digital quiz or download the printable PDF for students to complete on paper. The worksheet includes a complete answer key for the nine multiple-choice questions and guidance for reviewing the open-ended response; printable submissions can also be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The printable format can support classrooms seeking to reduce screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the three-digit equations, answer choices, and word problems are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports access to the regrouping instructions and open-ended explanation.
