About this worksheet

Subtraction within 10 is best learned alongside addition: 7 − 3 = 4 because 3 + 4 = 7.

Each sheet contains 20, 30 or 40 problems (your choice) and is generated at random. Press “New problems” as many times as you like; there is no limit and no account needed.

Worked example

6 − 6 =
  1. Think addition: 6 + ? = 6.
  2. 6 + 0 = 6, so 6 − 6 = 0.

Answer: 0

Teaching tips

  • Show the matching addition fact next to a few problems.
  • Counting back works for small numbers; encourage "think addition" for the rest.
