Take It Away! 2nd Grade Subtraction Worksheet

About this worksheet

Forty-eight subtraction problems with differences within 20, laid out six to a row under a crisp apple and green border. Every problem takes a single-digit number away from a number between 10 and 20, which is exactly the range second graders are expected to know by heart.

This is the page to use before any two-digit work. A child who still counts on fingers here will stall once regrouping arrives, so it is worth returning to until the answers come quickly.

What students will practice

• Subtract within 20
• Recall subtraction facts without counting
• Build the fluency two-digit work depends on
