How to read it
Find the start number on the left, slide across to the number you take away, and read what is left. A filled chart works as a reference on the wall or in a folder; a blank chart gives a student every difference to fill in, which is one of the best ways to move from looking up a fact to knowing it.
Why the shaded corner
The chart only shows facts where you take away the same amount or less than you started with, so every answer is zero or more. The shaded cells would need a negative answer, so they are left out on purpose. That also shows that order matters: 9 minus 5 is 4, but 5 minus 9 is not a subtraction fact we use here.
Practice the facts
Once a chart is in hand, build fluency with targeted practice. Subtraction worksheets cover facts within 10 and 20 through multi-digit work, or make a custom worksheet in seconds. There is also a printable addition table for the facts that pair with these.
