Two Digit Addition And Subtraction Worksheets

This worksheet is designed to help students practice adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. Let’s go through both addition and subtraction separately.

Addition of Two-Digit Numbers:

Let’s say we have an example problem of 24 + 35 on our worksheet.

1. Write the numbers in column form with the tens (first digit from the left) aligned vertically and the ones (second digit from the left) aligned vertically. This should look something like:

  24
+ 35
____

2. Add the numbers in the ones column (the right column): 4 + 5 = 9. Write this number under the line in the ones column.
3. Next, add the numbers in the tens column (the left column): 2 + 3 = 5. Write this number under the line in the tens column.
4. The final result would be:

  24
+ 35
____
  59

Subtraction of Two-Digit Numbers:

Let’s say we have an example problem of 65 – 32 on our worksheet.

1. Again, write the numbers in column form.

  65
- 32
____

2. Start by subtracting the numbers in the ones column (the right column). If the top number is smaller than the bottom number (which is not the case here), you would need to borrow from the tens column. In our case, 5 – 2 = 3. Write this number under the line in the ones column.
3. Then subtract the numbers in the tens column: 6 – 3 = 3. Write this number under the line in the tens column.
4. So, the final result would be:

  65
- 32
____
  33
