Two-Digit Minus One-Digit Regrouping

This subtraction worksheet helps students practice subtracting one-digit numbers from two-digit numbers when regrouping across zero is required. Learners borrow from the tens place to complete each subtraction, strengthening place-value understanding and accuracy with foundational regrouping skills.

Instructional Objectives

• Skill Focus (Grades 2-3): Subtract one-digit numbers from two-digit numbers within 100 using regrouping.
• Conceptual Understanding (Grades 2-3): Understand how borrowing from the tens place supports subtraction when the ones digit is insufficient.
• Algebraic Reasoning (Grade 3): Apply strategic reasoning to determine when regrouping is necessary and maintain numerical balance.
• Curriculum Alignment (Grades 2-3): Supports subtraction within 100, place-value concepts, computation fluency, and mathematical practices focused on strategic thinking.

The focused problem set gives learners repeated exposure to regrouping across zero, helping reduce common errors and build confidence. The clean, uncluttered layout supports careful work and keeps attention on the subtraction process itself.

Learning Benefits

• Builds confidence with basic regrouping strategies
• Strengthens place-value reasoning and subtraction accuracy
• Supports readiness for more complex multi-digit subtraction
• Effective for practice, review, or formative assessment

This printable worksheet provides targeted practice that helps students master two-digit minus one-digit subtraction with regrouping while reinforcing strong foundational subtraction and place-value skills.
