Step-by-Step Subtraction

On this worksheet, students repeatedly subtract the divisor until they reach zero, filling in each subtraction step as they go. After completing the sequence, students count the number of subtraction steps to find the quotient. This structure helps learners focus on the progressive nature of repeated subtraction and visualize how division measures “how many equal groups” can be formed. The scaffolded blank lines guide students through orderly computation. This page supports fluency, reinforces sequential thinking, and strengthens procedural understanding.
