Number line subtraction in Grade 2

Second graders use the number line to subtract within 20 and to picture jumps of tens and ones — the same model that later supports two-digit subtraction and finding the difference between numbers. Working the hops by hand keeps the meaning of subtraction concrete while mental strategies take over.

How to use these worksheets

  • Find the first number on the line and start there.
  • Hop backwards for the number you take away — try one big jump instead of single steps as it gets easier.
  • Write the number you land on.
  • Tick Show answers to check.
