Subtraction Word Problems for First Grade Math Practice

This worksheet turns everyday stories into subtraction adventures, asking kids to figure out how many dinosaurs, cookies, or campers are left after some go missing. Matching answers to each word problem helps build both reading and math muscles—like a two-for-one brain workout! It’s perfect for helping young learners practice real-world math in a way that actually makes sense (and maybe even makes them giggle).
