x3 sets of blank subtraction sums, x1 black and white and x2 rainbow themed, x5 pages in total. All portrait orientation, in PDF format.

What’s it for?
This resource provides a clear template for learners to practice simple subtraction. The different coloured boxes for each sum makes it clear to learners which sum they are working on at any one time. They can use the blank sums with hands-on items they enjoy, like toys or counters, to help solve each sum.

For added flexibility, an adult can write numbers on the sheet for the learner, or the learner can create their own sums using dice or number cards.

Who’s it for?
These (blank) subtraction sums have been designed for pupils in years one and two or older students needing additional support with their learning.

Subtraction Resources Overview
This resource offers three blank subtraction sum options, each with a line under every box for writing numbers.

Subtraction Sums (Single Sheet)

• Rainbow Colour Version: Includes four blank subtraction problems on one page, with each sum in a different colour.

Subtraction Sums (Two Sheets)

• Rainbow Colour Version: This two-page PDF contains a total of eight blank subtraction problems. Each sum is a different colour, providing more challenge with a clear visual guide.

• Black and White Version: This two-page PDF also includes eight blank sums. To maintain clarity, each sum alternates between different shades of grey and black.

Recommendations
Small objects can be placed in each box, ensuring they are not a choking hazard for young learners. Suggestions include:

• small coloured matchsticks
• buttons
• pom poms
• coloured dot/spot stickers
• small ‘themed’ stickers especially if matched to your learner’s interests

For more autonomy, learners can create their own subtraction problems using number cards or by rolling dice. They can then draw the corresponding number of dots or use dot stickers to record their chosen numbers in the boxes provided.

Top tip
When solving subtraction problems, encourage learners to always place the larger number first. They should move the total amount of objects into the first box, then “take away” the smaller amount in the center box. The remaining objects can be drawn in the last box on the right. A line is provided under each box for writing the corresponding numbers.
