About this worksheet

Sixteen single-digit subtraction facts written top to bottom, with a blue answer box for each.

What kids practice

Subtraction is finding how many are left, or how far apart two numbers are. Within 10 means every number in the problem is 10 or less. These facts are the base for every later kind of subtraction, so it is worth getting them solid.

Watch for

  • Counting the starting number as the first hop when counting back, which gives an answer one too small.
  • Subtracting the smaller number from the larger one no matter which comes first.
  • Guessing instead of using a strategy. Ask "How could you check that with addition?"

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full subtraction within 10 guide for 1st grade.
