Taking away is the next step after adding, and these free printable subtraction worksheets give preschool and kindergarten children 20 playful pages to practise it. Every subtraction stays within 10, so little learners can count the pictures, cross out what is taken away and circle the answer with confidence.
Every page is a black and white PDF with simple instructions and plenty of space to work, so one page is a complete short activity for preschool and kindergarten children, at home or in the classroom. Print the pages in any order, work through the picture sets first, then try the number line, the word problems and the mixed review.
What Is Inside the Subtraction Practice Worksheets Bundle
The 20 pages start with picture subtraction, where children count the objects, cross out the ones taken away and circle how many are left: stars, balls, toy cars, kittens, puppies, goldfish, butterflies, bees, cupcakes, balloons, hearts, ducklings, frogs and ladybugs. Then come subtraction on a number line, subtraction word problems, vertical subtraction, missing number subtraction and a mixed subtraction review to finish.
Subtraction worksheets like these build number sense, counting back and the taking-away idea that later maths depends on, along with careful reading of word problems. Because the pages are black and white, children can colour them in after finishing, which turns every page into a second quiet activity.
