- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 8,500
Round 6,936 to 6,900 and 1,604 to 1,600. Estimate 6,900 + 1,600 = 8,500; it need not equal the exact answer.
- A6
Calculate 2,020 − 546; explain how you cross the zero places.
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.
- 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.
- A8

Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 2,600
Round 3,066 to 3,100 and 534 to 500. Estimate 3,100 − 500 = 2,600; it need not equal the exact answer.
- A9
Subtract 2,112 − 698; show any place-value exchange.
Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 1414
Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 1,414; add 698 to check.
- A10
A delivery service starts with 2,640 parcels and delivers 987. Estimate to hundreds, then compute exactly.
Show answer and reasoning
Answer: About 1,600; exactly 1,653
2,600−1,000≈1,600; 2,640−987=1,653.
- A11

- A12
Calculate 1,000 − 473; explain how you cross the zero places.
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.
- A13
Add 568 and 847. Explain one exchange of ten units.
Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 1415
Combine ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. Exchange 10 units for 1 in the next column whenever needed; 568 + 847 = 1,415.
- A14
Find 3,000−476. Describe the exchange chain, not only the result.
Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 2,524
Regroup thousands through hundreds and tens to obtain sufficient ones. 3,000−476=2,524.
- A15
Subtract 1,642 − 498; show any place-value exchange.
Show answer and reasoning
Answer: 1144
Exchange a larger unit into 10 smaller units when needed. Preserve the total and subtract. Difference = 1,144; add 498 to check.
