How to choose a worksheet

Because the numbers are randomised, a class set can be printed by pressing the button between copies. Every child gets the same skill and different problems, which makes copying pointless and marking uniform.

There is no account, no email address and no download step anywhere in this section. The worksheet is generated in your browser and goes straight to the printer or into a PDF file.

Nothing in this section needs special paper, a login or a printer that does colour. A black-and-white page and a pencil is the entire equipment list for subtraction worksheets.

Short daily practice beats long weekly sessions for every skill listed here. Ten focused minutes, marked immediately, is the routine the whole of this section is designed around.

A routine that works

Start with the facts, then the written method, then word problems. Skipping the first step is the most common reason a child stalls on the third, and it is why the fact pages sit at the top of these subtraction worksheets.

Write the time taken and the score at the top of each sheet. Two weeks of those two numbers is a better progress report than any single test, and it costs five seconds a day.

When a skill is secure, use a mixed review sheet to check that it survives being taken out of context. That is where most apparent mastery turns out to be partial.

Frequently asked questions

Keep the finished subtraction worksheets in date order — the drop in time across ten sheets is the clearest progress report you will get.
