### Lesson Structure
| Step Number | Step Title         | Length | Details                                            |
|-------------|---------------------|--------|----------------------------------------------------|
| 1           | Introduction        | 5 mins | Introduce subtraction with a simple definition and examples using manipulatives. Discuss how subtraction is related to taking away. |
| 2           | Guided Practice      | 10 mins| Use flashcards to show subtraction problems and solve them as a class. Encourage students to use manipulatives to visualize the process. |
| 3           | Independent Practice | 10 mins| Distribute worksheets with subtraction problems. Students will work individually to complete the exercises.  Teachers circulate to assist as needed. |
| 4           | Checking Homework    | 3 mins | Briefly review answers to the homework without student presentations. Address common errors and clarify concepts. |
| 5           | Closure              | 2 mins | Recap the subtraction concepts learned in the lesson. Ask students to share one thing they learned about subtraction. |

### Homework
Students will complete a worksheet with subtraction problems to reinforce concepts learned in class. The homework will be checked and feedback provided without requiring students to present their work.

### Assessment
- Observe students during guided practice to assess understanding.
- Review worksheets to evaluate individual progress and pinpoint areas needing reinforcement.
