Thanksgiving math worksheet for 2nd grade
Subtraction with regrouping (borrowing) is one of the trickiest 2nd grade skills. Children need to understand that one ten can be traded for ten ones, and then practice that step until it feels natural.
This single fall page has 20 two-digit subtraction problems that all need regrouping, plus its answer key. It makes a focused Thanksgiving-week practice page. For the full progression, the Two-Digit Addition & Subtraction with Regrouping pack has 20 pages: no regrouping first, then carrying, borrowing and a mixed review.
If a child is stuck, step back to problems without regrouping for a day and try again.
