Let's solve the
"Subtracting Near Doubles" worksheet step by step. The goal is to:
1.
Solve each subtraction problem.
2.
Complete the addition sentence that relates to it (using near doubles or doubles facts).
3.
Draw dots in the empty box to represent the missing number.
We’ll go through each problem one at a time.

🔹 Problem 1:
18 - 8 = ___
8 + ___ = 18
- 18 - 8 =
10
- So, 8 +
10 = 18
✔ Answer: 10
👉 Draw
10 dots in the empty box below the first die (which shows 8 dots).
---
🔹 Problem 2:
10 - 4 = ___
4 + ___ = 10
- 10 - 4 =
6
- So, 4 +
6 = 10
✔ Answer: 6
👉 Draw
6 dots in the empty box below the die with 4 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 3:
13 - 6 = ___
6 + ___ = 13
- 13 - 6 =
7
- So, 6 +
7 = 13
✔ Answer: 7
👉 Draw
7 dots in the empty box below the die with 6 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 4:
15 - 8 = ___
8 + ___ = 15
- 15 - 8 =
7
- So, 8 +
7 = 15
✔ Answer: 7
👉 Draw
7 dots in the empty box below the die with 8 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 5:
11 - 5 = ___
5 + ___ = 11
- 11 - 5 =
6
- So, 5 +
6 = 11
✔ Answer: 6
👉 Draw
6 dots in the empty box below the die with 5 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 6:
6 - 2 = ___
2 + ___ = 6
- 6 - 2 =
4
- So, 2 +
4 = 6
✔ Answer: 4
👉 Draw
4 dots in the empty box below the die with 2 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 7:
17 - 8 = ___
8 + ___ = 17
- 17 - 8 =
9
- So, 8 +
9 = 17
✔ Answer: 9
👉 Draw
9 dots in the empty box below the die with 8 dots.
---
🔹 Problem 8:
14 - 6 = ___
6 + ___ = 14
- 14 - 6 =
8
- So, 6 +
8 = 14
✔ Answer: 8
👉 Draw
8 dots in the empty box below the die with 6 dots.

## 🎯 Strategy Tip:
This worksheet teaches
"near doubles" thinking. For example:
- You know 8 + 8 = 16, so 8 + 9 = 17 (one more than double).
- Or, 6 + 6 = 12, so 6 + 7 = 13 (one more than double).
Using known
doubles helps students solve
near doubles and subtraction problems efficiently.

💡
How to draw dots:
For each blank box, draw the number of dots equal to the missing addend (e.g., for 8 + 10 = 18, draw 10 dots in the empty box below the die showing 8).
You can use small circles or dots to represent each unit.
