Subtraction Word Problems 2nd Grade

Subtraction problems up to 100.

Each sheet consists of a range of 4 or 5 subtraction word problems with numbers up to 100.

There is a space on each sheet for working out, so that your child can write out the problem and solve it.

We have split the worksheets up into word problems with and without regrouping.

Using these sheets will help your child to:

• subtract numbers up to 100;
• solve subtraction word problems with and without regrouping.
• select the appropriate information needed to solve a subtraction problem.
• learn the language used in subtraction - difference, how many left, how many more, how many fewer, etc.

There are two versions of each sheet.

The first version (version A) contains problems where no regrouping is needed.

The second version (version B) contains similar problems but regrouping is needed to solve them.

Sheets 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B involve straightforward word problems with one number to subtract from another.

Sheets 4A, 4B, 5A and 5B have a table showing a range of information. To answer the subtraction problem, the correct information needs to be taken from the table and the relevant numbers subtracted.
