Match It Up! Subtraction Using Ten Frames

Pair up problems and models in this first-grade subtraction worksheet! Students will be presented with six subtraction problems within 10. They will need to match each problem to its corresponding ten frame in the opposite column, then use the model to help them subtract and find the difference. 

Use this worksheet to help students visualize subtraction and better understand what each number in the problem represents. A strong grasp on what the subtrahend, minuend, and difference in a subtraction problem all mean is foundational for young mathematicians.
