Subtraction Word Problems 2nd Grade
Subtraction Problems up to 100
Each sheet consists of a range of 4 or 5 subtraction word problems with numbers up to 100.
There is a space on each sheet for working out, so that your child can write out the problem and solve it.
We have split the worksheets up into word problems with and without regrouping.
Using these sheets will help your child to:
- subtract numbers up to 100;
- solve subtraction word problems with and without regrouping.
- select the appropriate information needed to solve a subtraction problem.
- learn the language used in subtraction - difference, how many left, how many more, how many fewer, etc.
Subtraction Word Problems 2nd Grade Examples
Example 1)
Captain has $89.
He spends $62.
How much money does he have left?
After reading the problem, we can see that we need to work out $89 subtract $62 to solve it.
First we set up our subtraction.
Next we subtract the ones. 9 − 2 = 7. There is no regrouping needed.
Next we subtract the tens. 8 − 6 = 2
To finish the subtraction we put a dollar sign in.
Finally, we can answer the problem:
He has $27 left.
Example 2)
There are 72 cars in a parking lot.
25 cars drive away.
How many cars are there left in the parking lot?
After reading the problem, we can see that it is a subtraction problem and that we need to work out 72 − 25 to solve it.
First we set up our subtraction.
Next we subtract the ones.
2 − 5 leads to a negative answer, so we will need to regroup one of the tens into ones.
We can now subtract the ones. 12 − 5 = 7
Next we subtract the tens. 6 − 2 = 4.
Finally, we can answer the problem:
There are 47 cars left in the parking lot.
