Grade 3 Subtraction Worksheets
Grade 3 subtraction covers three-digit subtraction with regrouping, including across zeros. The six sheets below take that work in six formats, and each comes in three versions with its own answer key.

Grade 3 Subtraction Timed Drill
Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet.

Grade 3 Three-Digit Subtraction with Regrouping
Column arithmetic with regrouping lines.
The drill has 30 problems, 30 of them regrouping (problem 11: "914 - 545"). The timed drill has 72 problems, 32 of them regrouping (problem 25: "8 - 2"). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 937 (problem 9: "___ - 182 = 37"). The mixed review has 30 problems, 22 of them regrouping (problem 11: "300 - 15"). The word problems has 10 problems, story problems (problem 4: "Yara needs 193 points to win and already has 68. How many…"). The vertical format has 20 problems, twenty of them regrouping (problem 7: "883 − 317").
Across the six sheets the generator draws on three-digit subtraction with regrouping, subtraction facts within 20, two-digit subtraction mentally, and subtracting across zeros. The pages are tagged to Common Core 3.NBT.2 and 2.OA.2, and each tag links to the standards index.
Subtraction continues at kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 4, so a student who finishes the grade 3 sheets can move up without changing topic.
Treat the three versions of each grade 3 subtraction sheet as a week: Set A on Monday to find the gaps, Set B midweek after the fix, Set C at the end as the check that it held — 186 problems per set across the row.
