Word Problems: Subtraction w Borrowing (up to 3 digits)
Description: This packet helps students learn to read word problems. Word problems give students practice recognizing key words that indicate subtraction (e.g., left, more, etc.). All problems use basic subtraction facts (to 20), so students should be able to easily complete the math once they decide on the number sentence they should use.
Solve the word problems. Please show all of your work. Use labels in your answers.
Jen picked 35 apples from a tree. Joe picked 28 apples. How many fewer apples did Joe pick?
