About this worksheet
Subtraction facts within ten are the other half of addition facts, and children should know them without counting once they have practiced enough. Getting there takes plenty of plain practice with the number sentence itself. This worksheet is a clean page of subtraction sentences in one shape: a number, a minus sign, a number and a line for the answer.
There are no pictures, no true or false and no word problems on this page, so your child does one thing the whole way down. Support sheets use starting numbers up to 8, standard sheets go up to 10, and challenge sheets stay at 7 to 10. If a fact stalls, count back from the first number, or think of the matching addition fact.
What your child will learn
- Subtract within 10
- Count back from the first number
- Use an addition fact to check a subtraction
- Know that taking away zero or taking away everything are special facts
Common Core standard: 1.OA.C.6
Worked example
For 9 - 4, start at 9 and count back four: 8, 7, 6, 5. Write 5 on the line.
Common mistake
Counting the starting number as one of the numbers taken away, so counting back one step too many or too few.
Helpful hint
Think of the addition fact that goes with it: 4 + what makes 9?
