2 Digit Subtraction With Regrouping Worksheets | Grade 2

2 digit subtraction with regrouping worksheets help second graders practice subtracting two-digit numbers when the ones digit in the top number is smaller. These printable activities build place-value understanding, careful calculation, and confidence.

How to Use These Worksheets

First, read the directions and solve each problem on paper. Next, write each number in the correct place-value column. When the ones digits require regrouping, trade one ten for ten ones. The answer keys appear at the end of the page, so students can finish before checking their work.

Parents and teachers can assign one level at a time. For extra support, use base-ten blocks or quick drawings. Then ask students to explain why one ten can be renamed as ten ones.

Skills Covered

• Subtracting two-digit numbers within 100 when regrouping is needed.
• Renaming one ten as ten ones and keeping tens and ones aligned.
• Checking subtraction with addition.
• Solving one-step subtraction word problems in familiar settings.

Common Core State Standards

These activities primarily support CCSS 2.NBT.B.5: fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction. The worksheets focus on subtraction strategies within 100.
