Subtraction Without Regrouping Worksheets (2-Digit)

Two-digit minus two-digit subtraction where every top digit is at least as large as the digit below it, so nothing has to be borrowed. These sheets teach column subtraction — line up the places, subtract the ones first — before borrowing is introduced. Twenty problems, answers on page 2.
