1st Grade Subtraction Worksheets

Ages 6-7 · 2 sub-topics · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Our first grade subtraction worksheets take students from single-digit subtraction facts through subtracting two-digit numbers. Students practice with pictures, number lines, fact families, and missing number problems. Common Core standard 1.OA.C.6 expects first graders to fluently subtract within 20 using mental strategies, and these worksheets provide the structured practice that builds that fluency.
