Subtraction with increased challenges

The worksheets increase in challenge. The Foundation worksheet is aimed at those working towards age expected. The Core worksheet is aimed at those working at age expected. The Higher worksheet is aimed at those working at greater depth. Children subtract whole numbers with more than four digits, including using formal written methods (columnar subtraction). They are challenged by applying their knowledge in solving world problems. They are supported by place value counters and place value chart. Squared paper and labelled columns will support children in placing the digits in the correct columns. Children experience both questions and answers where zero appears in columns as a placeholder.
