About these worksheets

Subtraction is easier once addition facts are solid, so these sheets mirror our addition worksheets level for level: taking away within 10, then within 20, then two-digit numbers. Twelve problems per page keeps a session short enough for young learners.

All worksheets are free for home and classroom use, print on one Letter or A4 page and come with an answer key. Every set is generated from the same word and number banks as our games, so "Make a new one" gives you unlimited practice.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Cross out the dinosaurs on the picture sheets so children can see "take away" happening.
  • For facts within 20, point out the related addition fact: 13 - 5 = 8 because 8 + 5 = 13.
  • Two-digit sheets include borrowing; the answer key lets kids self-check.
