This Grade 2 mathematics worksheet gives students focused practice subtracting two-digit numbers with regrouping. Across 11 problems, students solve ten multiple-choice subtraction equations and complete one fill-in-the-blank item, working with examples such as 54 − 29, 62 − 49, and 75 − 36. The set requires students to regroup when the ones digit in the minuend is less than the ones digit being subtracted and determine the difference accurately. Use this free printable worksheet for independent practice, a guided small-group lesson, homework, or a quick check of subtraction fluency. The multiple-choice format lets teachers identify likely calculation errors from students’ selected answers, while the fill-in-the-blank item provides an additional opportunity for students to produce a difference without relying only on answer choices. A complete answer key is included for efficient review and grading.

This worksheet helps Grade 2 students subtract two-digit numbers that require regrouping, such as 54 − 29 and 74 − 57. Ten multiple-choice equations and one fill-in-the-blank item give students practice finding differences and then selecting or writing the correct result.
Model one equation from the worksheet, such as 62 − 49, by identifying that the ones cannot be subtracted without regrouping and then solving each place-value step. Next, work through a second equation together, asking students to explain what changes in the tens and ones places before they complete the remaining multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank items independently.
Watch for students subtracting the smaller ones digit from the larger one without regrouping, or forgetting to reduce the tens digit after regrouping. In the multiple-choice items, answers such as 23 for 62 − 49 or 37 for 52 − 25 can signal that a student has used an incorrect subtraction step or reversed the place-value process.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 11 items. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to support efficient grading and review of regrouping errors.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the two-digit equations and answer choices are easier to read and work through. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports students completing the subtraction items.
