Tips for learning subtraction facts 0–10
- Think addition: 10 − 7 asks 7 + ? = 10, and the answer is 3.
- Taking away 0 changes nothing, and a number minus itself is 0 — that is 21 of these 66 cards learned by rule.
- Count up from the smaller number: for 9 − 6, count 7, 8, 9 — three.
How many pages the 66 cards print on
The answers print on the back. The PDF puts an answer page straight after each page of questions, so printed double-sided, each sheet of paper has questions on one side and their answers on the other.
| Cards per page | Pages in the PDF | Sheets of paper, double-sided | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 per page — extra large | 66 | 33 | Whole-class flashing from the front of the room. |
| 4 per page — large | 34 | 17 | Small group work and pocket charts. |
| 6 per page — standard | 22 | 11 | The usual choice. Fits a rubber band. |
| 8 per page — compact | 18 | 9 | Fact decks and word rings. |
| 9 per page — small | 16 | 8 | Big decks where paper matters. |
Printing the answers on the back
- Open the print dialog and turn on two-sided (duplex) printing.
- Choose flip on long edge (sometimes called long-edge binding). The pages are portrait, and each answer page reverses the order of every row, so the answer to the top-left card prints behind the top-left card.
- Don’t pick “flip on short edge” — it puts the answers behind the wrong cards.
- Print the first sheet, hold it up to a window to check, then print the rest and cut.
No duplex printer? Turn the answer backs off in the maker and print fronts only, or print the odd pages, put the stack back in the tray, and print the even pages. Printers feed differently, so test with one sheet first.

Subtraction Facts 0–10 flash cards — questions people ask
How many subtraction facts are there to 10?
66: every subtraction where the starting number is 10 or less and the answer is not below zero, from 0 − 0 up to 10 − 10.
What does "subtraction facts 0–10" mean on this page?
Facts within 10: the number you start from is 10 or less, so every number on the card is between 0 and 10. So 10 − 4 = 6 is in and 12 − 4 is on the 0–20 page.
Which grade learns subtraction facts to 10?
In the Common Core, kindergarten works within 5 and first grade is expected to add and subtract fluently within 10. Many children start these cards in kindergarten.
Are there any negative answers?
No. Each card is written as the subtraction that undoes an addition fact, so the answer is never below zero.
How many pages do the subtraction facts 0–10 flash cards print on?
66 cards. At 6 cards per page that is 11 sheets of paper printed double-sided (22 pages in the PDF); at 9 per page it is 8 sheets. Two cards a page makes big cards for the front of the room; nine a page saves paper.
How do I print the answers on the back?
Print double-sided and choose "flip on long edge" (some printers call it long-edge binding). Each answer page reverses the order of every row, so when the sheet flips, every answer lands behind its own question. Flipping on the short edge puts answers behind the wrong cards, so check one sheet before you cut.
Can I take out the facts my child already knows?
Yes. The "Print 66 flash cards" button opens the deck in the flash card maker as an editable list, one fact per line. Delete the lines you don't need, or add your own, before you print.
