   Math: Differences to 10

In today's lesson we will continue to work on subtraction within 10. We will do a couple of activities to establish a solid foundation in subtraction. 

First, we will read The Action of Subtraction by Brian Cleary and stop to discuss the subtraction scenarios on each page. 
Next, the kids will play a game called Take it Away!
Each pair will need 10 counters,1 Take it Away mat, the take it away cards, and a small Dixie cup. Partners will take turns pulling a card and place that amount of counters on the ten frame, remove those being taking away, and write the number sentence.
