Chapter Overview
Always keep ones under ones, tens under tens, and hundreds under hundreds.
Give and Take builds fluent addition and subtraction of two- and three-digit numbers. Learners regroup across place values, estimate answers, and apply operations to money and quantity stories.
Column Addition
- Add ones, then tens, then hundreds.
- Regroup 10 ones as 1 ten and 10 tens as 1 hundred.
- Estimate first to know the approximate size of the answer.
Column Subtraction
- Subtract from the ones place first.
- Regroup from the next place when the top digit is too small.
- Check by adding the difference to the number subtracted.

Subtract with Regrouping
A library has 432 books and lends 178. How many remain?
- 1Regroup to subtract ones: 12 − 8 = 4.
- 2After regrouping a hundred, subtract tens: 12 − 7 = 5.
- 3Subtract hundreds: 3 − 1 = 2.
Answer
254 books
Key Points to Remember
- ✓ Align digits by place value
- ✓ Regroup without changing the total value
- ✓ Estimate and use inverse operations to check
Exam Tips
- • Record every regrouped ten or hundred
- • Check whether the question asks for a total or a difference
