- Why does my child get 324 for 402 − 178?
Your kid had to borrow across the zero in 402 and got it wrong, so 402 − 178 came out 324 or 234 instead of 224. How to check, a free 12-problem printable, and three short sessions to try.
- Why does my child get 63 for 46 + 27?
Your kid added each column but never carried the ten, so 46 + 27 came out 63 or 613 instead of 73. How to check, a free 12-problem printable, and three short sessions to try.
- Why does my child get 24 for 52 − 38?

- Why does my child get 26 for 52 − 38?
Your kid did 8 − 2 in the ones place instead of trading a ten for ten ones, so 52 − 38 came out 26 instead of 14. How to check, a free 12-problem printable, and three short sessions to try.
- Why does my child write 41 for 8 + 6?
