About this resource
Description
Taking away ten is one of the most useful facts a first grader can own, because it shows how our number system works. This subtract ten matching worksheet helps children see that 17 − 10 simply removes the ten and leaves the ones, so the answer is 7. Once students notice that pattern, every teen number minus ten becomes a fact they can answer in a heartbeat, and they are ready for subtracting tens from bigger numbers.
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-ten 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 place value and subtraction.
What’s Included
- One printable subtract ten matching worksheet (1st Grade)
- Part A: six subtraction facts to match to their answers
- Part B: four subtract-ten 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, the facts run from 11 all the way to 20, which connects subtraction to tens and ones instead of a single memorized 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, build 14 with a ten rod and four single cubes, then take the rod away and count what is left. After students finish, ask them what they notice about every answer. For extra practice, have children say the matching addition fact, such as 10 + 4 = 14. This first grade subtraction worksheet also pairs well with a quick oral fact drill.
