About this resource
Description
Subtracting tens is a big step toward mental math, and the Subtraction Tens and Ones Worksheet gives students focused practice taking a multiple of ten away from a two-digit number. When children see that the ones digit stays the same and only the tens change, they begin to understand place value instead of just following steps.
This 2nd grade subtracting tens worksheet has twelve column problems, each in its own numbered box. Every problem subtracts a number like 20, 40, or 70 from a two-digit number such as 47 or 86. Students line up the tens and ones, subtract each column, and write the difference just under the line. The problems use a wide mix of numbers, so students must think about each one rather than follow a pattern.
What’s Included
- 12 two-digit minus multiple-of-ten column subtraction problems
- Numbered boxes with roomy answer space under each equation line
- A complete answer key on page 2
Why It Helps Kids
- Builds place value sense. Students notice that the ones digit carries straight down while the tens digit changes.
- Prepares for mental math. Quick practice with tens makes it easier to subtract 10, 20, or 30 in their heads.
- Strengthens column subtraction. Neat, lined-up problems reinforce subtracting the ones first and then the tens.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting the subtraction tens and ones worksheet, model one problem with base-ten blocks: build 47, take away two rods, and count what is left. Have students circle the ones digit in each answer to check that it matches the top number. Use the page as a math center, a warm-up, or homework, and check the work with the answer key.
