 Math: Subtraction
 New Concept: We used the whole/part-part mat to put numbers together. Today we are going to use them to take numbers apart. When we take a number apart we use this symbol ( - ). Today we are going to use these boards again. I am going to start by putting 10 cubes on the “whole’” bar.  I will roll a dice (3).  Then I will break 3 off and put it in the first “part” box. Then put the rest in the second “part” box.  Now I can read my math talk card: "10 – 3 = 7."  We'll try a few more examples to get the idea.
Whole Group Explore: There are some strategies you can use to help you with addition or adding numbers together like I just did.  We already know how to count on our fingers. One of the other strategies is to use manipulatives such as snap cubes. Today you will use our new BIG math words as we use our whole/part-part board to do addition. While one of you is using the board, the other will be writing the equation down and then you will switch.
Student Application: Students will practice solving  their equations.

 Reader's Workshop: Summarizing
Today we're going to read about another animal in its habitat. As we read, we'll note the important ideas so we can use them to summarize the chapter. If we don't understand something we read, we can go back and reread to help us understand better.

  DAILY 5
Math: Addition
Student ApplicationToday I want to show you an addition strategy. It is using a number line. I am going to roll the dice(3). Now I am going to put my frog on number 3. Now I am going to roll again (4). I am going to move my from 4 spots. We need to count the hops. He will hop 4 times. Count with me. So 3 + 4 = 7. Repeat this several times. They will move the string as they say each number.
Whole Group ExploreToday you are going to use the strategy of using a number line to help you with addition. You will first roll the dice and put one cube on that number. Then roll again and move your frog that many hops to find your answer. Your partner will write your equation down.
Student Application: Students will practice writing their equations.
