Free Subtraction Worksheets
All subtraction worksheets available on this page are free. The subtraction worksheets contained on this page can be used as assessment tools, extra practice for students learning their basic subtraction facts, and any other purpose that you see fit. Each worksheet comes complete with an answer key which can be used for self-correcting or marking. The zeros in the "Subtraction Facts to 9" section were omitted because the random generator tended to include them too often, plus it shouldn't take long for students to understand the concept of subtracting zero. Zeros have been included in the "Subtraction Facts to 18" section.

Try a mental counting up strategy for subtraction. Start with the second number (the subtrahend) and count up by tens until you find the closest value to the first number (the minuend). Keep track of how many tens you counted. Add or subtract a single digit number to get the minuend exactly. For the question, 84 - 35, start at 35, and count, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 (five tens) and one down to get 84. Five tens minus one is 49. For the question 65 - 22, start at 22 and count, 32, 42, 52, 62 (four tens) and three up to get 65. Four tens and three is 43. |
