Mathematics
I can subtract 3-digit numbers in my head using place value, counting up and friendly numbers.
Look: three ways to subtract in your head
- Take away by places: 586 − 300 = 286, then 286 − 40 = 246.
- Count up: for 700 − 296, go 296 to 300 (4), then 300 to 700 (400). That makes 404.
- Friendly numbers: 400 − 199 is 400 − 200, then add 1 back: 201.
Solve in your head. Write only the answer.

The Whistling Mailbox
Every night at eight o'clock, the old mailbox on Pine Street whistled. Neighbors stopped and stared. Ruby and her friend Jamal decided to find out why. They waited behind a hedge with a flashlight. At eight o'clock, the whistle came again, high and thin. Jamal crept closer and shined his light into the mailbox slot. A tiny brown bird blinked back at him. Beside it sat a nest of twigs, string and one blue button.
