Purpose:
This worksheet supports early arithmetic development by giving students the opportunity to practice subtracting single-digit numbers from two-digit numbers. It enhances calculation skills, builds confidence, and prepares learners for more advanced math operations.

Activities:

• Subtracting 1-digit numbers from 2-digit numbers.

• Practicing vertical subtraction format.

• Improving speed and accuracy in basic arithmetic.

• Developing number sense and mental math strategies.

Materials Needed:

• Pencil or pen.

• Worksheet.

Worksheet Specifications:

• Page Size: 8.5″ x 11″ (Letter Size)

• Orientation: Portrait

Instructions for Use:

Step 1:

• Review a few examples with the learner to ensure understanding of how to subtract a smaller number from a larger one, especially when regrouping is needed.

Step 2:

• Have the student complete each subtraction problem vertically, writing the answer clearly below each equation.

Step 3:

• Encourage double-checking by reversing the operation (e.g., adding the difference to the subtracted number to verify the result).

Step 4:

• Discuss any problems that require regrouping and practice those steps separately if needed.

This worksheet strengthens subtraction fluency and problem-solving confidence, setting the stage for tackling more complex math operations with ease. It’s perfect for skill reinforcement, homework, or quick review sessions.
