Subtraction is a process which most children learn quite naturally as soon as they learn to start counting. During kindergarten and first grade, it is really important for kids to have the chance to work practically with their math.

An example might be that a child has 10 sweets. They give 3 to their teddy. How many do they have left? What if they gave another to their teddy? What if their teddy had 8 sweets, how many would be left for them?

Later on, when children are confident Subtracting practically, they can progress on to number lines or counting back in their heads. When children have understood this, they can begin to learn their Subtraction facts and progress on to column Subtraction.

During Second Grade, children should be learning the following mental subtraction skills:

• learning their subtraction facts to 20;
• subtracting 1, 10 or 100 from any 3 digit number;

For pencil and paper methods, children should be able to:

• subtract numbers with up to 3 digits;

What is Subtraction?

Subtraction means removing things from a group. For example, if you have five apples, and your friend takes away three, you are left with two (5 - 3) apples. The ‘-’ sign represents the mathematical concept. You can subtract integers using the number line. It is not possible to subtract a greater number from a smaller number. And the answer that you arrive at after subtracting one number from another is known as difference. 

Subtraction is the basis for the rest of elementary arithmetic. Children who are unable to master subtraction struggle with word problems and subtraction with bigger numbers. As a result, they make mistakes more often, take time in solving problems, and suffer from an overall lack of confidence in math. 

Kids should take no more than three seconds per subtraction case. If it is lesser, your child has excelled at the mathematical concept. However, the pace at which every child learns is different, and you must not pressurize your child. 

How to Teach Your Child Subtraction?

There are many ways in which you can teach your child how to subtract. However, before you start using the interactive and fun worksheets we have created, make sure your child understands the following: 

• Subtraction is the opposite of addition. 
• Subtraction refers to taking away or finding a difference. For instance, 12 - 7 can mean “how many do you have if you take 7 away from 12? or “how much more is 12 than 7?”
• Many subtraction strategies depend on the ability to use backward addition. 

Our printable educational worksheets are the best to help your child build a strong foundation in subtraction.

• Select the Correct Subtraction Sentence These super fun worksheets encourage young mathematicians to use their understanding and choose, create, or write the right subtraction sentence. They can also find the missing numbers using the number line.

2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheets

Subtraction and addition are the basic operations of arithmetic and they form the foundation for several advanced math concepts. A good knowledge of subtraction and addition helps build strong mathematical skills in your child as they progress through school. While addition is the process of increasing by adding two numbers, subtraction is taking away. 

So when you subtract one number from another, you’re reducing it. These 2nd grade subtraction worksheets make learning subtraction easier for 2nd grade children.

Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. It is denoted by the sign minus ( – ). The easiest way to explain subtraction to your child is as something taken or a decrease in quantity. The first step in teaching your child subtraction is to familiarize them with the concept. Use everyday situations to point out examples of subtraction to your child. 

For example: Place 5 candies in your palm and ask your child to count the number of candies. Give your child two candies and ask them to count how many are left in your palm. 

The easiest way to help children learn subtraction is by practicing on math worksheets for kids . Once your child is more confident subtracting numbers, help them practice using 2nd grade subtraction worksheets.

Children usually learn how to add quickly, but learning subtraction can be tricky. You’ll need to come up with different strategies to help your child learn the concept of subtraction. Here are some strategies, which will help you in teaching subtraction to your kids. 

• Taking away: Subtraction as taking away is the easiest way to teach your child the concept of subtraction. And you can use real objects like cookies, candies or toys, all things little kids like. Always start with smaller numbers so your child doesn’t get confused.

For example: This activity can be done with a group of children, but if your child doesn’t like to share you can do it with them. 

Place 3 cookies on a plate in front of your child. Ask them to count the number of cookies on the plate.

Now remove 1 cookie from the plate. Now ask your child, “How many cookies are left?”. Ask your child to count the cookies remaining on the plate and say the answer out loud. 

If they don’t understand, explain to the child that taking away 1 cookie from the plate leaves behind 2 cookies.

Once they understand the concept, you can try teaching your child to subtract using lines or circles. 

For example: let’s find out how much 5 – 3 is?

Draw as many circles as the total number of objects available. Here, we have 5 objects, so we draw 5 circles.

Now, cross out the number of objects that have to be subtracted. So, cross out 3 circles. Count the number of circles left, this is your answer.

• Counting back on the number line: 

The number line is a great tool to teach your little one how to subtract. First, draw a number line. Circle the number that you’re subtracting from, this is your starting point. Then count back hopping on the number line as many times as the number you’re subtracting. Each hop is minus 1 (-1).

For example: Let’s find out how much 8 – 3 is.

First, draw a number line and circle the numbers 8 and 3 on the number line.

When you hop three times back from 8 on the number line, you reach 5. 

So, 8 – 3 = 5. 

As they gradually understand the concept, your child can practice subtracting on their fingers.

Once your child understands subtraction, it’s important to help them practice. Constant practice is the only way to ensure that the knowledge sticks in their memory. The best way to practice subtraction is to use worksheets. These free printable 2nd grade subtraction worksheets will help your child learn how to subtract numbers easily and quickly.
