Adding & Subtracting 10, 100 and 1,000 in your Head
When adding or subtracting 10, 100 or 1,000 it will usually only change one column.


450 − 100 = 350
450 − 100 = 350
- Only changes the 'hundreds' column.


87,348 − 1,000 = 86,348
87,348 − 1,000 = 86,348
- Only changes the 'thousands' column.


3,948 − 10 = 3,938
3,948 − 10 = 3,938
- Only changes the 'tens' column.
