Subtract numbers with borrowing across place values, including zeros in the middle.
Subtraction is where borrowing trips most Class 4 children up, especially when there is a zero to borrow across. These questions deliberately mix clean subtractions with ones that force regrouping, so the skill is practised rather than avoided.
Examples of what the practice generator produces. Answers are shown so parents and teachers can judge the level before starting.
