Duration: 30 Minutes


Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

Materials Required

Introduction (5 minutes)

  1. Engage the Students:

    • Begin with a brief discussion about subtraction. Ask students if they have ever taken away something, like sharing cookies or toys.
    • Pose a simple question: “If I have 5 apples and I give away 2, how many are left?” Use this to introduce the vocabulary related to subtraction: minus, take away, equals.
  2. Objective Sharing:

    • Explain that today they will learn how to subtract, or take away, numbers.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

  1. Demonstrate Subtraction:

    • Using the whiteboard, draw 5 apples. Emphasise the counting: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5".
    • Cross out 2 apples and ask students how many are left. Write the equation on the board: 5 - 2 = 3.
  2. Visual Representation:

    • Show how to represent subtraction using the counting bears. Allow students to use their bears to practice by giving them various subtraction problems, such as:
      • "You have 7 bears; if you take away 3, how many do you have left?"
  3. Introduce Flashcards:

    • Present subtraction flashcards with pictures. E.g., Show a picture of 4 ducks and ask how many are left if 2 fly away.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

  1. Interactive Activity:

    • Divide students into pairs and provide each pair with counting bears. Give them a series of subtraction problems to solve together, such as:
      • 8 - 5
      • 6 - 1
      • 9 - 4
  2. Circulate the Room:

    • Walk around and provide assistance, ensuring students are understanding how to count and take away.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

  1. Worksheet Activity:
    • Hand out subtraction worksheets that feature pictures and simple subtraction problems.
    • Encourage students to solve the problems and draw pictures to represent the equations.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

  1. Review and Reflect:
    • Gather students and review the subtraction problems they solved.
    • Reinforce the vocabulary of subtraction and ensure all students have an understanding.
    • Ask students to share one example of subtraction from their day (e.g., “If I had 10 crayons and lost 3…”).
