Grade 2 subtraction worksheets

In second grade, children practice subtraction a lot. They learn the basic subtraction facts by heart, subtract mentally in various ways, and learn regrouping (borrowing) in subtraction with two- and three-digit numbers.

These worksheets are generated automatically each time you click on a link. You can print the worksheet directly from your browser window, but first check how it looks like in the "Print Preview".

If the worksheet does not fit the page in the Print Preview, adjust your margins, header, and footer in the Page Setup settings of the browser. Or, adjust the "scale" to 90% or less in the Print Preview. Some browsers may have "Print to fit" option, which will automatically scale the worksheet to be so small as to fit the printable area.

The problem sheets are randomly generated, so you will get a different one just by refreshing the page in your browser (press F5).

All worksheets come with an answer key.
