SUBTRACTION FLASH CARDS
Make Your Own
It is easy to make your own subtraction flashcards for your students. There are two
sheets (front and back) that print out to make a front and back copy with the facts on
one side and the answers on the other. Match sheet 1 Facts with sheet 1 Answers as
well as sheet 2 Facts with sheet 2 Answers and sheet 3 Facts with sheet 3 Answers when
printing to one sheet (front and back) from each pair.
It is recommended to use 65 or 67 bond weight paper to make the flash cards more
durable, and when done copying, cut between the heavy black borders to separate the
cards. Colored paper may be used to visually separate the subtraction flash cards from
the addition, multiplication or division flash cards. It also helps to use colored paper, so
students cannot see the answers through the card when practicing.
Place the two cut-up sheets in a little plastic 3 inch x 4 inch sealable bags (at any Hobby
Lobby/Michael's style store).
The cost is about 13 cents per set including the cost of the plastic bag. The completed
product can be placed in a classroom center, or it is the right size to fit in a student’s
pocket, so they do not lose them.
This easy to make resource is one more tool to provide children assistance to learn their
basic math facts.
