No borrowing, no carrying, just clean column-by-column subtraction. Two-digit subtraction without regrouping is the right starting point before your student ever touches a problem that requires exchanging tens.
Each of the eight problems on this sheet is set up so the ones digit on top is greater than or equal to the ones digit on the bottom, and the tens digit follows the same rule. The direction box at the top makes that structure explicit, which helps your student understand why no regrouping is needed rather than just guessing. This homeschool worksheet is well suited for grades 1 and 2.
Two-digit subtraction without regrouping fits naturally at the beginning of a subtraction unit, giving your student a clean win before the concept of regrouping is introduced. The large answer space under each problem leaves room for work and a written answer. Eight problems is enough for solid practice without running long, so it slides comfortably into a short independent math block.


A pencil works best here so students can write answers neatly in the generous space below each equation. The layout is straightforward enough for independent practice once your student understands the concept, though a quick read-through of the direction box together is worthwhile the first time.

Letter size at portrait orientation is exactly what this layout expects. Regular copy paper holds pencil marks well, and printing two copies at once gives you a ready second attempt if needed.
