What's on this sheet
Subtraction within 10 is a natural next step after addition within 10. Children can model every problem with fingers, counters, or a quick sketch, so the symbols stay connected to real quantities. The worksheet keeps the numbers deliberately small and gives each answer generous writing space.
Why this sheet works
Every subtraction sentence here has a whole-number answer, never a negative one. Problems are varied without repeating the same fact on one page, and a new magic word produces a fresh set when your child is ready to practice again.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
10 − 6
10−6
10−0=10
6=0+6
10−6=4
- 10 − 6. The ones cannot cover it — 0 is less than 6 — so drop to the ten below first.
- 10 − 0 = 10. That used 0 of the 6, leaving 6 still to take.
- Then the rest off the ten: 10 − 6 = 4.
