When adding 3-digit numbers, we add ones first, then tens, then hundreds, regrouping (carrying) when a column totals 10 or more.
Quick revision
Remember these!
- We add or subtract ones, then tens, then hundreds.
- We regroup (carry) when a column totals 10 or more.
- 456 + 278 = 734 using regrouping.
- Subtraction uses borrowing when needed.
- We borrow from the next column if a digit is too small.
- Practice builds confidence with larger numbers.
- This skill extends 2-digit regrouping.
- 3-digit maths needs careful step-by-step work.
