1st Grade Subtraction
1st Grade Subtraction

Welcome to our first grade subtraction worksheets!
You’ll find practice for all the subtraction concepts your first grader needs to know: subtracting within 10, subtracting within 20, double-digit minus single-digit, subtracting multiples of 10, and subtraction word problems.
Subtraction is just “taking away” or “finding the difference.” To develop a firm grasp on subtraction, we’ve provided several formats for each concept (subtracting horizontally and vertically, using a number line or base ten blocks, etc.).
If your student struggles to finish the worksheets on this page, check out our Kindergarten Math Worksheets. If they need more of a challenge, look through our other Subtraction Worksheets.
