![]() We have started our unit on subtraction. Please continue practicing both addition and subtraction at home. In the first few lessons students have been learning to represent subtraction within 5 with numbers and words, such as 5 take away 1. They learned that subtraction is taking away a number from the number in all. They now have moved onto represent subtraction with an expression, 5-4=1. The students are using counters and other objects and drawings to represent everyday uses for subtraction. For example in class we use counters to represent a story. They might use six counters as a model for six cars in a row. They might then take away two to model two cars driving away. This is a physical action that is easy for children to participate in and see. Once a set of objects has been taken from a starting set, children are asked to tell the number that is left. An example question we might practice in class would be . Ella had 7 apples, she ate 4 apples, how many apples are left? We have also been using songs and stories such as "5 Little ducks" "5 little speckled frogs" and "10 little monkeys" using visual aids to help understand subtraction. Check out below some photos of the students working on hands on activities exploring subtraction. Here as some websites your child can practice on at home : more2.starfall.com/m/math/subtraction-content/load.htm?d=demo&n=bowling&y=1& www.abcya.com/subtraction_game.htm
