Subtract to Zero

Students solve division problems using repeated subtraction until they reach zero. For each problem, learners show each subtraction step and then count how many steps were needed. This reinforces the meaning of the quotient as the number of equal groups subtracted from the dividend. The repeated structure strengthens fluency, supports procedural order, and encourages students to double-check their work. This worksheet is ideal for learners who benefit from explicit step-by-step modeling.
