About these worksheets
These worksheets provide structured practice with traditional subtraction methods. Topics include subtracting multiples of ten, subtracting within 20 and 100, subtracting across zeros, two- through four-digit subtraction with and without regrouping, vertical and horizontal formats, subtracting from a specific value, and solving mixed addition and subtraction problems. Resources span first through fourth grade Common Core standards.
1nbt6
Subtract tens (like 30, 40, or 70) from a number to find the difference. Notice how subtracting a multiple of 10 changes the tens digit while the ones digit stays the same.
2nbt5
Subtract one 2-digit number from another to find the difference. Line up tens and ones correctly before subtracting. Use borrowing (regrouping) when the top ones digit is smaller than the bottom ones digit.
2nbt5
Subtract two- and three-digit numbers when the top number has a zero in the middle. Use borrowing (regrouping) to subtract across a zero without getting stuck. Keep digits lined up by hundreds, tens, and ones when subtracting.
3nbt2
Subtract larger numbers where the top number has zeros in it. Use regrouping to subtract when you need to borrow across a zero. Line up digits by place value so each column is subtracted correctly.
4nbt4
Subtract multi-digit numbers when you have to borrow across several zeros. Use regrouping to turn a zero in the top number into a number you can subtract from.
4nbt4
Subtract one 4-digit number from another accurately. Line up thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones so each digit is subtracted in the right place. Use borrowing (regrouping) when the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit in a place.
2nbt7
Subtract one 3-digit number from another to find the difference. Line up hundreds, tens, and ones correctly before subtracting. Use borrowing (regrouping) when the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit in a place. Subtract accurately across zeros when borrowing is needed.
