In this worksheet, we will practice subtracting a one-digit number from a teen number by subtracting from ten.

Q1:

Which addition expression is equal to 14−9?

  • A1−4
  • B9+5
  • C9−14
  • D14+9

Q2:

Think about taking away 9 from different numbers.

Look at these number sentences. Which one is WRONG?

  • A19−9=1+10

Q3:

Let us try to find 13 take away 9.

We can draw 13 dots as one group of 10 dots and one group of 3 dots.

So 13–9=4.

Now you have a go. What is 12–9?
