Decrease Practice Set

This subtraction worksheet provides focused horizontal practice with subtraction facts involving 6 and 7. Problems are clearly spaced and consistently formatted, allowing students to read each equation easily and concentrate on mental computation. The clean, uncluttered layout supports learners who benefit from visual simplicity while reinforcing fluency through repetition.

Instructional Objectives

• Skill Focus (Grades 1-2): Fluently subtract 6s and 7s from numbers within 20 using horizontal equations.
• Conceptual Understanding (Grades 1-2): Strengthen number sense by recognizing numerical differences and consistent subtraction patterns.
• Algebraic Reasoning (Grade 2): Apply fact-family and inverse-operation thinking to solve subtraction problems efficiently.
• Curriculum Alignment (Grades 1-2): Supports subtraction fluency within 20, horizontal computation skills, number-sense development, and mathematical practices emphasizing precision.

The horizontal format encourages students to rely on reasoning and mental strategies rather than procedural setup. Repeated exposure helps build automatic recall while maintaining accuracy and confidence.
