Subtracting by Tens – Multiples of 10 Worksheet

The computation section asks students to think about counting by tens while subtracting decade numbers. Since all values are multiples of ten, patterns from skip counting can support the differences without regrouping individual ones. A tenth prompt shifts from answers to reasoning by asking learners to choose one equation and explain their method through words or a picture. The labeled second page provides numerical checking while leaving the explanation open to valid strategies.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Subtract one multiple of ten from another

  • Use counting-by-tens patterns to find a difference

  • Explain a subtraction strategy with words or a drawing

Teaching tips

  • Represent one equation as groups of ten before calculating symbolically.

  • Compare counting back, related addition, and base-ten drawing strategies during review.

Skills covered

  • Decade subtraction — tens are treated as countable units.

  • Strategy communication — a solution method is represented openly.
