KS2 Maths: Subtracting 1,10 and 100 Booklet

A set of differentiated worksheets for children in KS2 (mainly Year 3 and Year 4) to practice their ability to subtract 1,10 and 100 to a number. Subtracting a number can be a difficult skill for the children to master so this resource is differentiated to meet all the children’s needs.

Each skill of Subtracting 1, 10 and 100 is broken down into:

Subtracting with base ten below 100.
Subtracting below 100.
Subtracting above 100.
Subtracting crossing a 100.
Focused on the challenge of the inverse operation - children having the output but not the input.

This booklet asks these questions for:

Subtracting 1.
Subtracting 10.
Subtracting 100.

This resource has 19 pages worth of questions: 6 for each objective and a bonus page at the end with assessment questions on all three skills. Each page features at least 4 questions on each page (with the exception of the first page) to ensure that children have enough chance to be fluent in the skill. Since the worksheets sequence each other children can easily finish one worksheet and move onto another worksheet without any low-level disruption in the class.

How I use this resource: This resource has 19 pages so prior to the lesson I would assess the children’s knowledge and print off each page accordingly. Remember that children may finish one page and want to progress onto another page. Alternatively, this resource could be used as a booklet and all the booklet could be printed for the children to work in independently as an assessment tool.

If you want a taster of this worksheet the adding 10 worksheet is the same format.
