About this worksheet
A free printable dice subtraction worksheet with an answer key. Take the smaller die away from the bigger one. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7. Count back on your fingers or the number line for the hardest facts.
Tips for using it
- Check each answer by adding it back to the number taken away.
- Think addition: 12 - 7 asks what you add to 7 to make 12.
- For small numbers, counting back on a number line is a reliable strategy.
- When borrowing, cross out the digit you borrow from and write the new number above it.
