Example subtraction flashcards for grade 2 students

What is 52 - 17?35. Regroup one ten into ones so 12 minus 7 is 5, then 4 tens minus 1 ten is 3.

What does regrouping (borrowing) mean in subtraction?Taking one ten or one hundred from the next place value and adding it to the ones column so the top digit is large enough to subtract.

Solve 403 - 186.217. Borrow across the zero tens and the hundreds, then subtract column by column.

How can you check a subtraction answer?Add the difference to the number you subtracted. If you get the starting number, the answer is right, since 35 + 17 = 52 confirms 52 - 17 = 35.

What is the minuend in a subtraction problem?The minuend is the number you start with, the first number in the problem. The number you take away is the subtrahend.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a worksheet, and the cards match what your class actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so practice time goes to the subtraction steps you still find tricky.

PDF export on Plus

Plus lets you export to PDF for printing, plus DOCX, Anki, and CSV. The free plan studies in the browser without exports.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a worksheet, slides, notes, or a photo of a page. Images are read with text recognition.

Review the cards

Check the generated questions and answers, and remove any that do not fit your lesson.

Study or print

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export a printable PDF on Plus.

Each card comes from text you provide, so a worksheet on borrowing across zeros produces cards about borrowing across zeros. You can then study with spaced repetition in the browser, or export a PDF on Plus to print for a paper session.

Start with the free plan, which gives you 3 generations per month and no credit card. Upgrade to Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month when you want unlimited generations and printable exports.

Frequently asked questions

How do I practice subtraction with flashcards at home?

Work through the cards daily in short sessions of 10 to 15 minutes. Say each step out loud, such as which column needs borrowing, before checking the answer.

What should the back of a subtraction flashcard show?

The back should give the final answer and one line on the method, such as the regrouping step. Showing the check with addition helps you confirm the result.

Can I print my flashcards for free?

Printing needs a PDF export, which is a Plus feature. The free plan lets you study the flashcards in the browser with 3 generations per month.
