  1. A1

    Subtract 1,792 − 558; show any place-value exchange.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 1234

    Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 1,234; add 558 to check.

  2. A2

    Calculate 4,005 − 400; explain how you cross the zero places.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 3605

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 4,005 − 400 = 3,605.

  3. A3

    Estimate 6,274 + 1,222 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 100.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 7,500

    Round 6,274 to 6,300 and 1,222 to 1,200. Estimate 6,300 + 1,200 = 7,500; it need not equal the exact answer.

  4. A4

    A museum had 3,364 tickets and sold 395. How many tickets remain?

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 2969

    Identify the whole and its parts, then compute 3,364 − 395 = 2,969. Estimate to hundreds to check size.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 1474

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 2,020 − 546 = 1,474.

  7. A7

    Why does 679+154 require exchanges in both ones and tens?

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: Both sums reach at least 10 units

    9+4=13 ones carries 1 ten; 7+5+1=13 tens carries 1 hundred.

  8. A8

    Estimate 3,066 − 534 by rounding BOTH numbers to the nearest 100.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 2,600

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 527

    Rename a nonzero higher-place unit to supply ten of the next smaller units; continue exchanging across zeros. 1,000 − 473 = 527.

  13. A13

    Add 568 and 847. Explain one exchange of ten units.

    Show answer and reasoning

    Answer: 1415
