Subtraction With Regrouping Using Decomposition #3

Practice using the decomposition strategy to solve two-digit subtraction problems in this helpful worksheet! Students are prompted to first review an example problem to see how each number is broken apart. Then, young mathematicians will try it on their own by decomposing the numbers into tens and ones and regrouping a ten. Finally, learners will subtract vertically to find the difference.

Problems that require regrouping can be difficult, but this worksheet is a great way for second graders to practice! Learning different strategies, such as decomposition, can help students master two-digit subtraction. This method will also reinforce place value concepts as learners break each number down.

This worksheet is the last in a series about subtraction using decomposition. Check out Subtraction With Regrouping Using Decomposition #1 and Subtraction With Regrouping Using Decomposition #2 for more practice.
