Subtraction is a process which most children learn quite naturally as soon as they learn to start counting. During kindergarten and first grade, it is really important for kids to have the chance to work practically with their math.

An example might be that a child has 10 sweets. They give 3 to their teddy. How many do they have left? What if they gave another to their teddy? What if their teddy had 8 sweets, how many would be left for them?

Later on, when children are confident Subtracting practically, they can progress on to number lines or counting back in their heads. When children have understood this, they can begin to learn their Subtraction facts and progress on to column Subtraction.

During Second Grade, children should be learning the following mental subtraction skills:

  • learning their subtraction facts to 20;
  • subtracting 1, 10 or 100 from any 3 digit number;

For pencil and paper methods, children should be able to:

  • subtract numbers with up to 3 digits;

What is Subtraction?

Subtraction means removing things from a group. For example, if you have five apples, and your friend takes away three, you are left with two (5 - 3) apples. The ‘-’ sign represents the mathematical concept. You can subtract integers using the number line. It is not possible to subtract a greater number from a smaller number. And the answer that you arrive at after subtracting one number from another is known as difference. 

Subtraction is the basis for the rest of elementary arithmetic. Children who are unable to master subtraction struggle with word problems and subtraction with bigger numbers. As a result, they make mistakes more often, take time in solving problems, and suffer from an overall lack of confidence in math. 

Kids should take no more than three seconds per subtraction case. If it is lesser, your child has excelled at the mathematical concept. However, the pace at which every child learns is different, and you must not pressurize your child. 

How to Teach Your Child Subtraction?

There are many ways in which you can teach your child how to subtract. However, before you start using the interactive and fun worksheets we have created, make sure your child understands the following: 

  • Subtraction is the opposite of addition. 
  • Subtraction refers to taking away or finding a difference. For instance, 12 - 7 can mean “how many do you have if you take 7 away from 12? or “how much more is 12 than 7?”
  • Many subtraction strategies depend on the ability to use backward addition. 

Our printable educational worksheets are the best to help your child build a strong foundation in subtraction.

  • Select the Correct Subtraction Sentence These super fun worksheets encourage young mathematicians to use their understanding and choose, create, or write the right subtraction sentence. They can also find the missing numbers using the number line.
  • Subtract from Higher Numbers These online worksheets require students to solve problems by subtracting from 7, 8, 9, and 10.
  • Subtract Using Part-Part-Whole Model These challenging worksheets help your child learn subtraction efficiently. They make students practice more on the part-part-whole model and understand the relationship between a whole and its parts.
  • Subtract Using Think Addition Strategy Students must apply the concept of addition in these downloadable worksheets. They need to choose the right operation or solve the problems relating to addition and subtraction sentences. 

It is ideal for children to start learning this mathematical concept at the beginning of second grade. After they have grasped the facts, they can solve more complex second-grade math topics. These include multi-digit subtraction, creating subtraction sentences, completing the word problem model, and more. If your child is older and struggles with subtraction facts, do not worry. SplashLearn’s subtraction worksheets for 2nd graders make learning subtraction simple and easy.

A few methods or strategies that can be used to master subtraction are: subtraction by 0, 1 and 9, subtract all, count back, get to 10 to subtract, using addition to subtract, subtract tens and subtract tens using a number line and many more.

What is a subtraction equation?

A representation of numbers involved in a subtraction operation using symbols such as (-) and (=) is termed as a subtraction equation. The minuend, subtrahend and difference are the parts in a subtraction equation. Minuend is the number that is reduced, subtrahend denotes the number by which the minuend is reduced. The final answer in a subtraction equation is termed as the difference

How are second grade subtraction worksheets beneficial for students?

When students solve worksheets on their own, it promotes active learning as they feel a sense of accomplishment.

Best 2nd Grade Math Subtraction Worksheets & Activities

Let's help your 2nd graders master their basic subtraction facts this year with these 2nd grade math subtraction worksheets! They're the perfect way to develop real math fact fluency and reinforce tried-and-true mental math strategies that really work! 

Teaching the basic operations is a huge part of primary math instruction. What they say about starting slow to go fast is true. These essential math skills become the underlying foundation for multiplication, division, and algebraic thinking in the later years. It's vital to start strong!

Like reading, there is a proper way to teach math in the early years. Start with concrete skills before you move to abstract ones, and prioritise what your students already know. This means your second graders need to have lots of time getting hands-on, moving and manipulating pieces, drawing pictures, and using visual models. The more fun and engaging, the better! 

Our goal is to prepare students to learn subtraction skills in a deep way. We want them to be flexible and fluent mathematicians who have a variety of strategies to solve every problem. This approach not only builds confidence; it also helps your students understand the concept of subtraction in different ways. This gives them an incredibly strong foundation for mathematical thinking they can tap into at any time. 

Fortunately, I have a bunch of fantastic, evidence-based resources to support you along the way, especially in The Hive . I've created complete systems for teaching 1st and 2nd Grade math - with mini units for every content strand, including digital slides, task cards, worksheets, posters, lesson plans, and so much more.

Visual Models

There are so many great interactive tools to help your students learn subtraction, but I highly recommend starting with physical or visual models! Use concrete items they can touch, feel, or manipulate. Let your kids move beads, flip cards, or count the dots on domino tiles. (P.S. There are also digital counters, playing cards, dominos, rekenreks, abacuses, and more available instantly on The Hive! )

  • Domino Subtraction - Subtraction is about finding the missing part. Dominoes make it easy to see that concept in action. Get them counting those dots, too!

  • Bead Subtraction - Kids love the bright colours on these math sheets, and they're a great way to visualise the different parts that make up the whole.

Number Bonds

Number bonds are a fantastic strategy for subtraction practice as they very clearly represent subtraction as removing a part from a whole. Your students will also be familiar with this strategy from earlier grades and learning addition, so it's a great way to connect their new learning to their prior knowledge. Instead of adding both parts to the bottom circles, they'll add the known part to one circle and the sum at the top.

This little shift really reinforces the conceptual difference between addition and subtraction.  

  • Number Bond Subtraction Worksheets - These fun worksheets are especially fantastic for working through subtraction word problems! Read the problem, pull out the important numbers, and figure out where to place them.

Fact Families & Inverse Operations

Since students learn best when you start from what they know, it's incredibly important to incorporate addition facts into your math lessons! They need to recognise the relationship between 6+4=10 and 10-6=4. This can be done in many different ways, including fact families and inverse operations.

We typically start by teaching the fact families within 10, then moving to 20, and then you can incorporate these skills in more complex problems. These math problems are fantastic for morning work or review once your students get the hang of them!

Doubles Method

Your students already spent so much time learning their doubles in 1st Grade. Let's tap into that knowledge this year! We typically teach this method like fact families since it's all about the relationship between addition and subtraction. It's one of the best starting places for teaching two-digit addition.

Base 10 Method

This is a popular method you've probably used before! It builds on your students' place value skills and uses base-ten blocks. Start by showing the whole number as represented by the tens and ones, then remove the part you know to reveal the difference. This can be challenging, especially when it requires regrouping, but it makes it very clear exactly what is happening to the numbers.  

When ready, use these Base 10 Subtraction Worksheets to put their skills to the test!

Bridging to 10

Subtraction really starts to get tricky when you move on two-digit numbers. Breaking apart tens is really confusing! Fortunately, the Bridging to 10 Method is absolutely fantastic for this exact purpose and can really help your students strengthen their number sense even with larger numbers.

With this strategy, start by subtracting ones until you can reach the next ten. Then, continue subtracting until you solve the problem. Add the two amounts you subtracted to get the correct answer for the missing part.

For example, if you are subtracting 15-6, break the 6 apart into a 5 and a 1. Subtract 15-5 to get 10, then subtract the remaining 1 to reach 9. It mixes number bonds and Friends of 10, making it a great strategy for when you first move to two-digit numbers!

Jump Strategy

Similar to some of the other strategies, the Jump Strategy is a fun way to use addition to solve more complex subtraction problems. There are several ways to use this method, but essentially, you're trying to find the difference between the part you know and the whole to find the missing part. If you know that 59-X=22, you can add tens and then ones to 22 until you reach 59 or subtract tens and ones from 59 until you reach 22. It's a really powerful method that works incredibly well, especially with larger numbers.

Add these Jump Strategy posters to your math center to help your students remember how the method works! They are a FREE download in the Freebee Library.

Number Line

The visual model of a number line is such a helpful way to help students add and subtract flexibly! Once your students are comfortable with the jump strategy, you can have them use it with a regular number line for a wide variety of subtraction equations. 

2nd grade math subtraction worksheets

My free Number Line Subtraction Cards come in three different levels:

  • Subtracting 1 digit from 2-digit numbers
  • Subtracting 2 digits from 2-digit numbers
  • Subtracting 2 digits from 3-digit numbers

They are all available as a Hive exclusive, and there are also Number Line Subtraction Worksheets for extra practice.

2nd grade math subtraction worksheets

Split Strategy

This is one of the very best strategies for 2nd Grade subtraction, and it's great for supporting mental math! Instead of lining up the tens and ones in regular two column subtraction, subtract within the tens and ones in their heads. 

For example, if your student is subtracting 57-25, then you can start by subtracting 2 tens from 5 tens (3 tens) and then 5 ones from 7 ones (2 ones). This will give them a solution of 32 with no regrouping, unbundling, or confusion. 

Of course, it does get more complicated when the first number is smaller than the second number, but I've got plenty of tips and tricks to support you along the way in these free  Digital Slides .

These worksheets are designed to help your 2nd graders master the skill of subtracting two-digit numbers in various ways . Let's dive in and see what these worksheets have to offer.

What are 2-digit subtraction worksheets?

2-digit subtraction worksheets are math worksheets that involve subtracting two-digit numbers from each other . For example, 45 - 17 = 28 is a 2-digit subtraction problem.

These worksheets can have different problems, such as horizontal, vertical, word problems, equations, etc. They can also have different difficulty levels, depending on whether the problems require regrouping.

Regrouping is when you borrow a ten from the next place value to subtract a larger number from a smaller one. For example, 32 - 18 = 14 requires regrouping because you have to borrow a ten from the tens place to subtract 8 from 2.

Why are 2-digit subtraction skills essential for 2nd graders.

2-digit subtraction skills are essential for 2nd graders because they are part of the common core math standards for this grade level. According to the common core math standards, 2nd graders should be able to fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value , properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

This means they should be able to understand how two-digit numbers are composed of tens and ones and how to use this knowledge to perform subtraction efficiently and accurately.

They should also be able to use mental math strategies, such as counting on or back, making tens, using doubles facts, etc., to solve subtraction problems quickly. Moreover, they should be able to apply their subtraction skills to solve real-world problems that involve money, time, measurement, etc.

Introducing MathSkills4Kids subtraction within 2-digit worksheets for 2nd graders

To help your 2nd graders develop and practice their 2-digit subtraction skills , you are free to assess our Mathskills4kids, where we have created a fantastic set of free printable subtraction within 2-digit worksheets that cover various topics and concepts related to this skill.

Here are some of the topics and concepts that you will find in our worksheets:

70 - 30 = 40 is a simple problem that can be solved by subtracting the tens digits.

Our worksheets have colorful pictures and fun themes, making this topic more engaging and enjoyable.

For example, how many apples are left if there are 12 apples in a basket and someone takes away 4 apples? Students can write a subtraction sentence like 12 - 4 = 8 to describe this situation.

Our worksheets have cute and colorful illustrations that depict different scenarios that require subtraction.

For example, 43 - 6 = 37 is a problem that does not require regrouping because the ones digit of the minuend (the number being subtracted from) is larger than the ones digit of the subtrahend (the number being subtracted).

However, 43 - 7 = 36 is a problem that requires regrouping because the ones digit of the minuend is smaller than the ones digit of the subtrahend. In this case, students have to borrow a ten from the tens place and add it to the ones place to make it easier to subtract.

Our worksheets have clear instructions and examples that show students how to perform regrouping correctly and efficiently.

For example, 64 - 27 = 37 is a problem that requires regrouping in both places because both digits of the minuend are smaller than both digits of the subtrahend. In this case, students have to borrow a ten from the hundreds place and add it to the tens place, and then borrow another ten from the tens place and add it to the ones place to make it easier to subtract.

Our worksheets have plenty of practice problems that challenge students to apply their regrouping skills to different situations and scenarios.

For example, if the given number is 25, students can find different ways to make 25 using subtraction, such as 35 - 10 = 25, 50 - 25 = 25, 28 - 3 = 25, etc.

Our worksheets have puzzles and games that make this topic more exciting and enjoyable.

For example, if John has 36 stickers and gives 15 to his friend, how many stickers does he have left? Students can write a subtraction sentence like 36 - 15 = 21 to solve this problem.

Our worksheets have interesting and relevant word problems that relate to students' lives and interests.

For example, if Lisa has 48 candies and she wants to share them equally with her 3 friends, how many candies will each person get?

Students have to first divide 48 by 4 to find the number of candies per person, which is 12, and then subtract 12 from 48 to find the number of candies left, which is 36.

Our worksheets have various types of word problems that test students' mathematical reasoning and comprehension skills.

For example, if the equation is __ - 17 = 23, students have to find the number that goes in the blank space that makes the equation true, which is 40.

Our worksheets have fun activities and games that make this topic more enjoyable and interactive.

These are just some of the topics and concepts that you will find in our worksheets. We have many more worksheets that cover other aspects of 2-digit subtraction, such as estimating differences, comparing numbers using subtraction, finding patterns in subtraction , etc.

2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheets

Subtraction and addition are the basic operations of arithmetic and they form the foundation for several advanced math concepts. A good knowledge of subtraction and addition helps build strong mathematical skills in your child as they progress through school. While addition is the process of increasing by adding two numbers, subtraction is taking away. 

So when you subtract one number from another, you’re reducing it. These 2nd grade subtraction worksheets make learning subtraction easier for 2nd grade children.

Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. It is denoted by the sign minus ( – ). The easiest way to explain subtraction to your child is as something taken or a decrease in quantity. The first step in teaching your child subtraction is to familiarize them with the concept. Use everyday situations to point out examples of subtraction to your child. 

For example: Place 5 candies in your palm and ask your child to count the number of candies. Give your child two candies and ask them to count how many are left in your palm. 

The easiest way to help children learn subtraction is by practicing on math worksheets for kids . Once your child is more confident subtracting numbers, help them practice using 2nd grade subtraction worksheets.

Subtract single digit numbers: 2nd grade subtraction worksheets for kids

Children usually learn how to add quickly, but learning subtraction can be tricky. You’ll need to come up with different strategies to help your child learn the concept of subtraction. Here are some strategies, which will help you in teaching subtraction to your kids. 

  • Taking away: Subtraction as taking away is the easiest way to teach your child the concept of subtraction. And you can use real objects like cookies, candies or toys, all things little kids like. Always start with smaller numbers so your child doesn’t get confused.

For example: This activity can be done with a group of children, but if your child doesn’t like to share you can do it with them. 

Place 3 cookies on a plate in front of your child. Ask them to count the number of cookies on the plate.

Now remove 1 cookie from the plate. Now ask your child, “How many cookies are left?”. Ask your child to count the cookies remaining on the plate and say the answer out loud. 

If they don’t understand, explain to the child that taking away 1 cookie from the plate leaves behind 2 cookies.

Once they understand the concept, you can try teaching your child to subtract using lines or circles. 

For example: let’s find out how much 5 – 3 is?

Draw as many circles as the total number of objects available. Here, we have 5 objects, so we draw 5 circles.

2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheets

Now, cross out the number of objects that have to be subtracted. So, cross out 3 circles. Count the number of circles left, this is your answer.

2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheets

  • Counting back on the number line: 

The number line is a great tool to teach your little one how to subtract. First, draw a number line. Circle the number that you’re subtracting from, this is your starting point. Then count back hopping on the number line as many times as the number you’re subtracting. Each hop is minus 1 (-1).

For example: Let’s find out how much 8 – 3 is.

First, draw a number line and circle the numbers 8 and 3 on the number line.

2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheets

When you hop three times back from 8 on the number line, you reach 5. 

So, 8 – 3 = 5. 

As they gradually understand the concept, your child can practice subtracting on their fingers.

Once your child understands subtraction, it’s important to help them practice. Constant practice is the only way to ensure that the knowledge sticks in their memory. The best way to practice subtraction is to use worksheets. These free printable 2nd grade subtraction worksheets will help your child learn how to subtract numbers easily and quickly.

Subtraction Worksheets

Welcome to the Subtraction Worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where you will get less of an experience than our other pages! This page includes Subtraction worksheets on topics such as five minute frenzies, one-, two-, three- and multi-digit subtraction and subtracting across zeros.

Subtraction has been around for several years now... well maybe more than a few, so it's probably a good thing for students to learn. People experience subtraction every minute of their lives from banks and the government taking away your money to the cookies in the jar mysteriously disappearing. With a good knowledge of subtraction, you can understand why your bank account reaches zero and do something to prevent it from happening.

Some students do have difficulty with subtraction, so take it easy on them. Help them to learn their addition facts first. Once they know those, they will need a few more strategies to successfully subtract. Teaching with manipulatives like base ten blocks or cereal or insects in the park can help students gain a deeper understanding of subtraction. The subtracting worksheets on this page are meant to support good teaching practices, so only use them for independent learning if students are practising skills they already know.

We use the words, minuend, subtrahend and difference on this page. Please refer to the following, so you know which word means which part of a subtraction question.

Subtraction Facts Tables

free math worksheets for 2nd grade subtraction

Five minute subtraction frenzies are timed practice charts that help students develop subtraction fact recall speed. These charts are similar to the addition and multiplication frenzy charts, but due to the nature of how subtraction works, we could not focus solely on the single digit fact families. For example, you might get questions like 18 - 4 = 14. You also have to be aware that you must subtract the row number from the column number to get a positive number (or zero). Other than that, they should be a nice way to practice some mental subtraction. As with most of these pages, please only use them as a timed activity with students who will experience success. If a student does not have the necessary skills to complete a frenzy in under five minutes, you may need to take a different approach to how you deliver this page. For all others, students should be able to complete this page in under five minutes with a 98% or greater accuracy and improve their time as they get more practice.

Single-Digit Subtraction Facts

free math worksheets for 2nd grade subtraction

Subtracting single-digit facts is a skill that students generally learn after or while they are learning single-digit addition facts. The subtraction worksheets in this section are meant to be used for practice, testing or with teacher guidance. They will not teach students how to subtract or what the connection is between addition and subtraction; for that, students require a teacher or parent.

Some students might find it easier to start with subtraction facts with minuends (the first number) limited to 9 or lower. This way, they don't need to count across 10 eliminating that extra pesky digit... for now.

  • Subtracting Single-Digit from Single-Digit Numbers 100 Subtraction Questions with Minuends up to 9 64 Subtraction Questions with Minuends up to 9 25 Subtraction Questions with Minuends up to 9

In relation to addition facts, the following worksheets cover the facts from 0 to 9. The minuends are the amounts to be subtracted from, so a minuend of 18 means that both the subtrahend (the amount being subtracted) and the difference will be 9. The worksheets marked with an asterisk (*) include all possible questions in a random order on each version of the worksheet.

Sometimes students just need to reinforce a single number at a time which is where these worksheets come in. There are three sets of worksheets in this section, each with a different number of questions. The last set is the most interesting as there are no questions repeated. Eleven and Twelve have been included as they are essentially subtracting by 10 and 1 or 2 more.

  • Subtracting a Number from Itself Subtracting a Number from Itself (Range 1 to 20)

The make ten subtraction strategy involves "spliting" the subtrahend (amount being subtracted) into two parts. The first part should be the exact amount that will reduce the minuend (the first number) to ten (or multiple of ten as the case may be) and the second part is the leftover amount. The strategy helps students internalize a mental strategy for subtracting across tens. For example, with the question 15 - 9, students first recognize that they need to subtract 5 to get 10, so they split the 9 into 5 and 4. Subtracting 5 from 15 results in 10 and subtracting 4 more results in 6, so 15 - 9 = 6. This strategy can be used any time students need to subtract "over" a multiple of ten and there are many worksheets in this section to practice it. For example, subtracting 84 - 8, students recognize that they must subtract 4 from 84 to get 80 which leaves 4 more to subtract from 80 to get 76.

Long Subtraction Worksheets

free math worksheets for 2nd grade subtraction

Try teaching a mental math strategy for subtraction called counting up. Here is how it is done:

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 then adjust the tens by that amount. 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. The previous examples used two-digit numbers, but the strategy can swiftly be modified for larger numbers. How far can your students go with it? Here is an example with three-digit numbers:

Let's use the question 927 - 648. First, count up by hundreds to 948 (that's 300). Then count down by tens to 928 (that's -20). Finally count down by ones to 927 (that's one). 300 - 20 - 1 = 279. That's almost easier than adding!

The multi-digit or long subtraction worksheets in the first part of this section are classic long subtraction worksheets with randomly generated numbers. Regrouping should be necessary about half of the time. Versions with ALL regrouping and NO regrouping follow. If you would like to see numbers with thousands separators, look a little further down and choose the appropriate version for your location.

Why horizontal subtraction worksheets? Students can show their understanding of place value and number sense if they do not already have the numbers lined up.

Generally, a student would not regroup to determine the complements of 10, 100, 1000, etc. One strategy that could be used is as follows: working from left to right, a student would take each digit in the subtrahend and figure out its nines complement. If the digit was 3, for example, the nines complement of 3 is 6. For the last digit (ones), the student would use the tens complement. For example, a typical question is 1000 - 456. The nines complement of 4 is 5, the nines complement of 5 is 4 and the tens complement of 6 is 4. Putting it all together, the student would get 5 4 4 or 544 = 1000 - 456.

  • Calculating Complements of Powers of Ten (Subtracting Across Zeros) Complements of 10 Complements of 100 Complements of 1000 Complements of 10000 Complements of 100 and 1000 Complements of 1000 and 10000 Complements of 100, 1000 and 10000

A similar strategy is employed with the next worksheets except students must adapt to calculating the largest place value number.

  • Calculating Complements of Multiples of Powers of Ten (Subtracting Across Zeros) Subtracting from multiples of 10 Subtracting from multiples of 100 Subtracting from multiples of 1000 Subtracting from multiples of 10000 Subtracting from a mixture of multiples of 100 and 1000 Subtracting from a mixture of multiples of 1000 and 10000 Subtracting from a mixture of multiples of 100, 1000 and 10000

These worksheets are meant to give students practice dealing with 0's in the middles of subtraction questions. Whether using pencil and paper or mental arithmetic, it is always a good idea to make sure students know what to do when they encounter zeros.

  • Subtracting Across Zeros in the Middle (Ones Always Need Regrouping) 3-Digit Subtraction across zeros in the middle ( Ones always need regrouping ) 4-Digit Subtraction across zeros in the middle ( Ones always need regrouping ) 5-Digit Subtraction across zeros in the middle ( Ones always need regrouping )
