 Writer's Workshop: Using Words to Keep the Steps in Order (Transitional Words)

DAILY 5

 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.
