Addition and subtraction within 100 worksheets

Once two-digit addition and two-digit subtraction have each been practiced alone, the next step is meeting them together. These free printable sheets keep every number within 100 and change the sign from question to question, so the first thing to do on each line is decide which operation it is.

What's on this sheet

A child who has just finished a page of subtraction will often subtract the first two numbers of an addition question without noticing. That is not a gap in arithmetic, it is a reading habit, and the only way to build the other habit is to have both signs on the same page. Interleaving feels harder than either operation alone, and that extra difficulty is the whole reason to do it.

Why this sheet works

Numbers here run to 100 and carrying and borrowing are both left in, so a question may need a written method as well as a decision. That combination is what an end-of-unit check at this level actually asks for, which is why this sheet belongs after the two single-operation ones rather than beside them.
