Subtraction in Grade 5

Fifth-grade subtraction keeps the standard algorithm sharp with large numbers, including the tricky borrowing-across-zeros cases. Fluency here frees attention for the year’s bigger topics — decimals, fractions and multi-step problems. These worksheets provide steady large-number practice.

70,003 − 28,547 = ?

  1. Borrow across the zeros carefully, one place at a time.
  2. Subtract each column from ones up to ten-thousands.
  3. Answer: 41,456.

How to use these worksheets

  • Regroup one place at a time; take special care across zeros.
  • Check by adding the answer back.
  • Keep the answer key (page 2) for quick marking.
  • Tick Show answers to review borrows.
