Digit by digit, column by column, three-digit subtraction without regrouping gives your student a clean entry point into multi-digit math before borrowing enters the picture.
Six vertical subtraction problems fill this sheet, each structured so every digit in the top number is greater than the digit below it. The directions box reinforces that concept explicitly, making it a useful teaching anchor for grades 2 to 3. A worked example showing 843 minus 231 equals 612 sits inside the directions box so your student can reference the format before starting.
This three-digit subtraction without regrouping worksheet works well as independent practice once you have introduced the column-by-column method during a lesson. Your homeschooler practices place value awareness by checking each column before subtracting, building the habit of examining digits before computing. The manageable problem count keeps the session focused without overwhelming a student still gaining confidence with three-digit numbers.


Pencil is the right tool here since your student may self-correct after checking digit alignment. The six large-print problems are spaced generously, so even early writers have room to record answers clearly. Works well for independent seat work after a brief guided walkthrough of the example problem.

Copy paper at standard letter size handles this sheet without any fuss. Print a small set at once if you want to use it across multiple days as timed fluency practice.
