This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding subtraction as related to addition (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.1 through 3).
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Subtraction | 5 min | Introduce subtraction concept using manipulatives. Use counters to demonstrate taking away items and show it visually on the whiteboard. |
| 2 | Guided Practice | 10 min | Engage students with subtraction flashcards. Select a few students to participate in solving problems on the whiteboard with assistance. |
| 3 | Independent Practice | 10 min | Distribute worksheets with subtraction problems. Circulate the room to provide support and monitor student progress while they work independently. |
| 4 | Homework Explanation | 3 min | Explain the homework assignment, which includes a set of subtraction problems. Homework will be checked for completion, not for presentation. |
| 5 | Closing and Review | 2 min | Wrap up the lesson by summarizing key points about subtraction. Allow time for any quick questions. |
Complete a worksheet with 5 subtraction problems at home. Students must show their work but will not need to present it in front of the class. The completed homework will be collected the following day for assessment.
Students will be assessed based on their participation during guided practice, accuracy in independent practice, and completion of homework. Informal observation during the lesson will gauge understanding.
