2-Digit Grid Subtraction

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is comprised of a series of two-digit subtraction problems, each formatted in a vertical layout. The numbers are presented in pairs, with the subtrahend below the minuend, and students are expected to find the difference for each problem. Blank spaces are provided beneath each problem for the students to write their answers. The structure of the problems indicates that students may need to employ borrowing to solve some of the problems where the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit in any given place.

The worksheet is designed to practice and reinforce the skills required for two-digit subtraction, particularly focusing on the concept of borrowing from the tens place when necessary. It aims to build fluency in subtraction within the 100 number range, strengthen the understanding of place value, and enhance the students’ overall number sense. By solving these problems, students can improve their capacity to work with larger numbers and prepare for more complex arithmetic operations. The clear, uncluttered format aids in focusing attention on the mathematical processes involved.
