Subtraction Math Worksheets

GeekSlop.com offers a variety of math addition worksheets, each containing dozens of problems, and includes a solution set that can be printed separately. Subtraction is one of the four basic arithmetic operations and a necessary fundamental skill for all mathematics. Subtraction follows several important patterns. It is anticommutative, meaning that changing the order changes the sign of the answer. It is also not associative, meaning that the order in which subtraction is performed matters when subtracting more than two numbers. Subtracting 0, which is the additive identity, does not change a number. Subtraction also obeys predictable rules related to operations like addition and multiplication. All of these rules can be proven starting with the subtraction of integers and generalizing up to the real numbers and beyond. General binary operations that follow these patterns are studied in abstract algebra.
