Math Subtraction Worksheets

1. Customizable Difficulty Levels

Create math subtraction worksheets tailored to different learning levels with a variety of number ranges:

Each range includes multiple digit combinations. For example, within 100 you can generate subtraction problems like 2-digit minus 1-digit, or 2-digit minus 2-digit. Within 500, problems can include 3-digit minus 1-digit, 3-digit minus 2-digit, or 3-digit minus 3-digit.

2. Support for Decimals and Multiples of 10, 100, and 1000

Customize the minuend and subtrahend with different number types in the problem constraints, such as 1-decimal, 2-decimal, multiples of 10, 100, or 1000.

3. Compatible with Multiple Paper Sizes

All worksheets are formatted for easy printing on A4 and US Letter paper—ideal for classrooms, homework, or tutoring sessions.

4. Randomized and Repeatable Problems

Each worksheet is generated randomly. You can choose whether to allow repeated problems or ensure every one is unique.

5. Instant Answer Access via QR Code

Each worksheet includes a QR code. Scan it with a mobile device to instantly view the correct answers—accessible for up to 365 days.

1. Choose Problem Type

This subtraction worksheet generator supports two types of problems: missing number in subtraction equations and missing result in subtraction problems.

2. Choose Answer Range

This subtraction problem generator allows you to set answer ranges such as:

Choose the answer range according to the learning needs. Different ranges also include flexible problem structures; for example, subtraction problems within 10 can be in the form of "1-digit minus 1-digit," while problems within 100 can be "2-digit minus 2-digit" or "2-digit minus 1-digit."

3. Choose Problem Structure

"Problem structure" refers to the format of each subtraction problem. For example, subtraction problems within 100 may include "2-digit minus 2-digit" or "2-digit minus 1-digit" formats, while problems within 10 may include "1-digit minus 1-digit" formats. Below is a detailed breakdown of problem structures by answer range:

4. Choose Problem Constraints

Problem constraints define restrictions on the generated arithmetic practice problems. Depending on the problem structure, constraints include: 1 decimal place, 2 decimal places, multiples of 10, multiples of 100, and multiples of 1000.

Example: For subtraction within 100, if the constraint "2 decimal places" is selected, the generated problems might look like: 156.28 - 112.16 = ______, 22.56 - 12.25 = ______, 1.32 - 1.02 = ______.

5. Choose Operation Rules

Operation rules define restrictions on the calculation process. By default, "Without Regrouping" is selected, meaning subtraction problems will be generated without regrouping, suitable for beginners.

6. Allow Duplicates

Choose whether duplicate problems are allowed in your printable math worksheet. Choosing "No Duplicates" ensures all generated problems are unique.

7. Choose Number of Pages

Choose how many pages of worksheets you want to generate. Each page includes a fixed number of problems and is automatically laid out in a clean, print-friendly format. This option lets you control the total number of practice questions.

8. Choose Paper Type

Choose the Paper type compatible with your printer. We support A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches), the two most commonly used paper sizes in homes and schools around the world. This ensures your worksheets are ready to print and use without formatting issues.
