Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Subtraction	5	Introduce the concept of subtraction using simple terms. Use counters for demonstration. Explain how subtraction relates to taking away.
2	Guided Practice	10	Work through 3-5 examples on the whiteboard. Students follow along with their counters. Encourage them to verbalise what they are doing.
3	Independent Practice	10	Distribute subtraction worksheets. Students work individually to complete problems. Teacher circulates to provide support.
4	Review and Discuss	5	Gather students’ attention for a whole-class discussion. Ask questions about their worksheets and clarify any misunderstandings without calling on specific students.
5	Conclusion and Homework	5	Summarise what they learned about subtraction. Assign related homework to reinforce the day’s lesson and inform parents in the follow-up communication.

Homework

Assign students a worksheet with subtraction problems to complete at home, ensuring the difficulty level aligns with what was taught during the lesson. Students' homework will be checked in the next lesson without presenting it in front of the class.
