Subtraction Worksheets: Spiral Subtraction Facts

Tired of the same old math fact worksheets with rows and rows of problems? Time to try something unique. These worksheets present the subtraction facts in a spiral layout that provides fun a twist on memorizing the basic math facts. They use the same fact layouts as the spaceship math sheets above, so try the first two sets worksheets if you are looking for the full set of subtraction facts or practice without the easier problems, or look at the others for an incremental approach to learning everything related to the trusty minus sign!

These subtraction worksheets can be mixed with the one minute and two minute subtraction facts worksheets from the previous two sections to provide a change of direction when it gets to be tedious working all those rows and rows of subtraction facts. Each worksheet has 144 facts presented in a circular pattern that requires the student to rotate the page as they work through the list of problems, which can help slow students down a bit. This may be a help when students feel frustrated keeping pace with traditional timed tests made of up rows and rows of problems, or just as a kind of break from the routine. Try these if your student is stuck on a particular level, or use them as a final test when they've shown proficiency with a particular set of subtraction facts to mix things up.
