Grade 2 Worksheets
In these Second Grade math worksheets, students practice subtracting a 2-digit number from a 2-digit number with regrouping or borrowing. For example, 73 - 45 = 28. Students can use number bonds or write the numbers in columns to subtract the ones and the tens (column subtraction). Subtract the ones first and then the tens. Regrouping when necessary.

How to subtract a 2-digit number from a 2-digit number:

1. Write the numbers vertically, aligning the digits by place value:
   Tens, and ones places should be aligned correctly.
   Write the minuend above the subtrahend.
   
2. Subtract the ones digit:
   Start with the ones column on the right.
   If the top ones digit is greater than or equal to the bottom ones digit, subtract directly and write the difference.
   If the top ones digit is smaller than the bottom ones digit, you’ll need to “borrow or regroup” from the tens place.
   Subtract the bottom digit from the top digit.
   Write the difference below the line.
   
3. Subtract the tens digit:
   Subtract the bottom tens digit from the top tens digit (considering any borrowing or regrouping that occurred).
   Write the difference below the line.
   Now subtract the tens digits as usual.
   
4. Check your answer:
   Add the difference you calculated to the subtrahend. If the sum equals the minuend, your subtraction is correct.
