Subtraction Worksheets and Subtraction Word Problems (With PDF)

Written by Manasi Dey in Mathematics

Practice more with this Subtraction Worksheet and various types of Subtraction word problems provided here. Suitable for Grade 3 and Grade 4 students. Before proceeding for the subtraction worksheet let’s recapitulate the basics of subtraction that you already know.

What is Subtraction?

Subtraction is one of the basic mathematical operations which means taking away some items from a collection. There are various keywords that indicate that a Subtraction (Fig. 1) has to be performed. Some of these keywords are Minus, Take Away, Less, Difference, Deduct, Leftover, Remains, Decrease, Fewer than, etc. We use subtraction:

  • To find out how many are left in a lot?
  • To compare different groups?
  • To find out what was taken away?
  • To find how many more are required?
  • To find out a difference?

The number that is to be subtracted from or the greater number is called minuend and the number being subtracted (smaller number) is called subtrahend. The result that is obtained in subtraction is called Difference (Fig. 1). Subtraction is called an inverse operation of Addition.

MINUEND-SUBTRAHEND=DIFFERENCE

Difference of Two Numbers
Fig. 1: Difference of Two Numbers

Properties of Subtraction

  • We subtract a smaller number from a bigger number.
  • When we subtract a number from itself, we get zero as the difference or result. Example: 12346-12346=0
  • When we subtract zero from a number, the difference is the number itself. Example: 123456-0=123456

Let’s start practicing from the Subtraction worksheets problem provided below and learn more about subtraction word problems.

Math Worksheet: Polygons and Circles (With PDF)

Written by Manasi Dey in Mathematics

What is a Polygon?

A polygon is a two-dimensional closed figure made up of only straight line segments. It is a geometric figure with three or more sides. Triangles (3 sides), Quadrilaterals (4 Sides), Pentagons (5 Sides), Hexagons (6 sides), Heptagons (7 Sides), Octagons (8 sides), Decagons (10 sides), etc. are all examples of polygons. A polygon having all its sides equal is called regular polygons. If all sides are not equal, it is called irregular polygons. Refer to Fig. 1.

Example of Polygons
Fig. 1: Example of Polygons

What is a Circle?

A circle is a closed figure made with curved lines such that all points of the curve are at a fixed distance from a point. This fixed point is called the center of the circle. Refer to Fig. 2. Remember the following points with respect to a circle.

  • The radius of a circle is a line segment that joins the center of the circle to any point on the circle. There are many radii of equal length in any circle.
  • The diameter of any circle is twice the length of the radius.
  • A line joining any two points on the circle is called a chord. The largest chord passes through the center of the circle and called the diameter of the circle.

Addition Worksheet: Addition of five or more digits [With PDF]

Written by Manasi Dey in Mathematics

What is Addition?

There are four basic operations in mathematics. The addition is the first of them. The addition of two or more numbers is the total amount of all those values combined. The addition is written using a plus (+) sign. The result is expressed with an equal to (=) sign. The answer that we get in addition is called the Sum or Total. The numbers that are added are called the Addends.

Refer to Fig. 1 below for proper understanding. So addition is a process to find the total sum by combining two numbers.

How to Understand that Addition has to be Performed?

There are various keywords in word problems that indicates that addition has to be performed. Few of those keywords are:

Total; Sum; Altogether; Increase; Combine; Add; Join; In All, Both;

However always try to find out the exact meaning of the problem first.

Addition of Two Numbers
Fig. 1: Addition of Two Numbers

Remember,

  • a) When Zero is added to a number, the sum is that number itself. For Example, 3+0=3
  • b) Changing the order of addends does not affect the result. For example, 1+2+3=3+2+1=1+3+2=2+1+3=6, The total sum always remains the same as 6
  • c) When 1, 10, 100, or 1000 added to a number increases the value of the digit at the Ones, Tens, Hundreds or Thousands place by 1 respectively.

In this worksheet, we will solve the addition of numbers having five or more digits. At the end of the article, the option for printing or making pdf is provided.
