Subtraction with regrouping practice worksheets for second grade math

Dive into the world of arithmetic with my set of progressive and engaging subtraction worksheet printables, suitable for 7-9 year olds. The worksheets have been designed to build upon concrete and pictorial skills taught in schools so that your little one becomes confident in using the popular column method for subtracting larger numbers and does so with increased ease. This set focuses on subtracting with an exchange (borrowing as we knew it back in the day!) using pictorial and abstract concepts. Worksheets include subtracting two 2 digit numbers, subtracting a 2 digit from a 3 digit number and subtracting two 3 digit numbers.

As a primary school teacher myself, these concepts have been part of the curriculum for years and the activities you find here will support your child’s application and knowledge in column subtraction, whether these are used in the classroom, as part of home schooling or as extra practise at home with adult support.

Give your child the chance they need to master this method and apply it confidently throughout the rest of their math’s education!

This math printable set includes 20 subtraction worksheets for you to download in pdf and print.
