Subtraction worksheet focusing on numbers 8 and 9, designed for practicing basic subtraction without borrowing.

Let’s solve each subtraction problem step by step. We’re subtracting numbers from 8, 9, or 10 — and none of these require borrowing (as the note says). That means we can just count back or use known facts.

We’ll go one by one:

(1) 9 – 3 = ?
Start at 9, count back 3: 8, 7, 6 → 6

(2) 9 – 4 = ?
9 → 8, 7, 6, 5 → 5

(3) 9 – 5 = ?
9 → 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 → 4

(4) 9 – 6 = ?
9 → 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 → 3

(5) 9 – 7 = ?
9 → 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 → 2

(6) 9 – 8 = ?
9 → 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 → 1

(7) 10 – 3 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7 → 7

(8) 10 – 4 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7, 6 → 6

(9) 10 – 5 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 → 5

(10) 10 – 6 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 → 4

(11) 10 – 7 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 → 3

(12) 10 – 8 = ?
10 → 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 → 2

(13) 8 – 5 = ?
8 → 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 → 3

(14) 8 – 6 = ?
8 → 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 → 2

(15) 8 – 7 = ?
8 → 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 → 1

(16) 8 – 8 = ?
Same number minus itself → 0

(17) 10 – 8 = ?
Already did this in #12 → 2

(18) 8 – 8 = ?
Same as #16 → 0

(19) 9 – 8 = ?
Already did this in #6 → 1

(20) 10 – 8 = ?
Again, same as #12 and #17 → 2
