212 worksheets

Subtraction worksheets for kindergarten introduce taking-away in the gentlest way: five- to seven-year-olds start with picture problems — cross out what leaves, count what remains — before moving to simple number sentences as they grow surer. Keeping the numbers small and the pictures clear lets the idea of how many are left land without the distraction of new instructions each time. The sheets suit morning work, a maths centre, or a quick partner task. Each is a free printable PDF with a matching play-online version that marks answers instantly, plus an answer key. The whole set is available in all 11 languages we publish in, so a dual-language kindergarten can give every child the same step.
