About this resource
Description
Eight is a big number to take away, and it is where many first graders stop counting back and start thinking in tens. This subtract eight matching worksheet gives them steady practice across the whole range to twenty, so 19 − 8 gets the same quick answer as 9 − 8. A child who learns to subtract eight by jumping back to ten first builds a strategy that works for every larger subtraction problem.
The page has two parts. Part A sets six subtraction problems in blue pills down the left side, and students draw a line from each problem to its answer in the scrambled column on the right. Part B gives four more take-away-eight problems for students to solve on their own and write in the answer boxes. Use it as a warm-up, a math center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on subtraction facts.
What’s Included
- One printable subtract eight matching worksheet (1st Grade)
- Part A: six subtraction facts to match to their answers
- Part B: four subtract-eight problems with answer boxes
- A complete answer key on the second page
Why It Helps Kids
First, matching lets students check their own thinking: every answer in the right column is used exactly once, so a leftover number is a clue to look again. Second, mixing minuends above and below ten builds real fluency with subtracting eight instead of memorizing a single fact. Third, the written Part B moves students from recognizing an answer to producing it, which is the step that makes a fact stick.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the page, model 15 − 8 on a ten frame: take away five to reach ten, then three more. After students finish, ask them to explain one answer out loud. For extra practice, have children turn each problem into its matching addition fact, such as 7 + 8 = 15. This first grade subtraction worksheet also pairs well with a quick oral fact drill.
