Subtracting by Tens Worksheet – 1st Grade Skip Counting & Subtraction

The Subtracting by Tens Worksheet gives first grade students focused, no-prep practice with counting. It is a print-and-go math page that fits easily into a mini-lesson, a center rotation, or a quick review day.

Learning objective: Students will build accuracy and confidence with counting through short, focused practice that reinforces what was taught in class.

Why it works: Practice like this gives students a chance to try counting on their own after you teach it. Because the page is quick to complete and easy to review, it fits into almost any part of the school day.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• 3 practice sections (Part A to Part C)

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: Short, student-friendly directions sit at the top of the page, followed by practice items that move from simple to more challenging.

Grade level: Designed for first grade students. It also works well for kindergarten and second grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: It works well for whole-class lessons, small groups, early finishers, homework, review days, intervention time, and sub tubs.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.

Teaching tips and variations:

• Model the first item together, then let students finish the rest independently.
