About this worksheet

This 2-digit subtraction (no regrouping) worksheet has 30 problems and fits on a single US Letter page. It is aligned to Common Core standard 2.NBT.B.5 and is typically used in 2nd Grade.

Teaching tips for subtraction

  • Connect subtraction to addition: 13 − 5 = 8 because 8 + 5 = 13. Fact families help both skills.
  • Practice subtraction without regrouping until the column method is solid, then introduce borrowing.
  • Borrowing across zeros (like 400 − 167) is a common sticking point. Give it extra practice with three-digit sheets.
  • Ask students to check answers by adding the difference back to the number taken away.
