Hard worksheet two offers varied subtraction contexts and challenging facts up to 20. Four multiple-choice questions include a crayon word problem, a true-number-sentence check, and a fact-family question asking which subtraction fact follows from 7 + 8 = 15. Five fill-in-the-blank problems like '___ - 8 = 7' and '18 - ___ = 9' demand careful reasoning about which part of the equation is missing, giving first graders a strong push toward fluent, flexible subtraction thinking.
