Math: Subtract with a Picture

Today’s lesson will start by reviewing the two previous subtraction strategies we learned: subtracting with fingers and with objects. The kids will work with 10 snap cubes and 1 ten frame to solve problems like this:

 There were 8 horses at the farm. Put 8 snap cubes down on your ten frame. 2 horses ran away. Take away 2 snap cubes. How many horses are left?  

Next, they will use their fingers to solve problems like this:

There were 10 goats in the pasture. Show me your 10 goats. 6 goats left the pasture. Take away 6 fingers. How many goats are left? 

Lastly, the kids will use the strategy of drawing pictures to solve subtraction problems like this:
  There were 8 ducks in the pond. 6 ducks flew away. How can I show my ducks flying away? I am going to cross them out. Now, how many ducks are left? I am going to circle the ducks that are left so I can easily see that 2 are left. The kids will illustrate the problem using circles and crossing out the 'take away' part.

We care for our Earth!

 The kids will paint a paper towel roll today to be ready for the project tomorrow and make a paper plate craft similar to the photo below...
