Rounding, Addition, and Subtraction

Lesson 12

Math

Unit 1

3rd Grade

Lesson 12 of 14

Objective


Subtract numbers with multiple decompositions within 1,000.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • 3.NBT.A.2 — Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Foundational Standards

  • 2.NBT.B.5

Criteria for Success


  1. Subtract three-digit numbers with multiple decompositions.
  2. Solve one-step word problems involving three-digit subtraction with multiple decompositions.

Tips for Teachers


  • Students have solved one-step word problems involving subtraction in previous grade levels (1.OA.1, 2.OA.1), just not yet with whole numbers of this magnitude. So, the intention of the word problems in this lesson is to have students solve contextual problems that involve computations expected of this grade level (3.NBT.2) as well as prepare students to solve two-step word problems involving addition and subtraction later in the unit, and eventually all four operations in Units 2 and 3 (3.OA.8).
  • Before the Problem Set, you could have students play "Get to Zero" from YouCubed.

Lesson Materials

  • Optional: Paper base ten blocks (hundreds, tens, ones) (5 per student or small group) — Students might not need these depending on their reliance on concrete materials. See Anchor Task 1 Notes to see how to prepare this material before the lesson.
  • Thousands place value chart (1 per student) — Students might need more or less depending on their reliance on this tool.

Problem Set

15-20 minutes


Discussion of Problem Set

  • What is the relationship between #1(a), 1(b), and 1(c)?
  • Look at #3. Did anyone solve without using subtraction? Explain. 
  • Look at #5. How did you solve?
  • Did you use any mental strategies? For which problems? Why?

Target Task

5-10 minutes


Problem 1

Solve. Show or explain your work.

a.   $$916 - 538 = $$ _____

b.   _____ $$= 1,000 - 457$$

Additional Practice


The Extra Practice Problems can be used as additional practice for homework, during an intervention block, etc. Daily Word Problems and Fluency Activities are aligned to the content of the unit but not necessarily to the lesson objective, therefore feel free to use them anytime during your school day.
