Add Subtract Up To Four Digit Numbers
Start here
Focus on column addition and subtraction with four-digit numbers. Start with “Add or Subtract 1,000, 100, 10 or 1”, then explain the idea in your own words.

The activities include Add or Subtract 1,000, 100, 10 or 1, Add Three Four-Digit Numbers, Add Two and Three-digit Numbers Using Knowledge of Place Value, and related practice.
