Questions parents & teachers ask

What grade do kids learn subtraction in?

Subtraction starts in kindergarten with taking away within 10 and builds every year — within 20 in Grade 1, two-digit subtraction within 100 in Grade 2, then multi-digit work with borrowing through Grade 4. Pick the grade above that matches your child.

What is regrouping (borrowing) in subtraction?

Borrowing is what you do when the top digit is smaller than the one below it: you take ten from the next column to subtract. It starts in Grade 2 with two-digit subtraction. The Grade 2–4 sheets above include problems that need it.

How can my child practise subtraction every day?

Five minutes a day beats one long session a week. Every click generates a fresh sheet with new problems and a matching answer key, so you'll never run out — print a new one each morning.

Are these subtraction worksheets free?

Yes — every grade from kindergarten to Grade 4 is free to generate and print, with answer keys, no account and no watermark.
