Your students can practise their subtraction problem-solving skills using partitioning with these engaging worksheets.

Firstly, the three-digit calculations and word problem must be solved by demonstrating each step in the partitioning strategy. After that, the circled numbers are put into a code. The code reveals descriptions of an emoji. Your students must use the clues to draw the correct emoji to complete the task.

Three differentiated versions of the worksheets are available. The regrouping complexity increases with each version.

When you have decided which version of the worksheets to give to which students, you can print out the number of copies that you need and start the maths fun!
