We will focus on the vocabulary words (law, military, countries, speech, White House, Oval Office, West Wing) within the story, The Story of the Whitehouse by Marge Kennedy 

  KinderMath: Find Differences of Sets to 20 
In today’s lesson, the kids will be working on stating how many the difference between two sets of 20 is. For this activity, each pair will need two baggies of items-each filled with a different number of items. We will model dumping out a bag of bears and a bag of tiles where the tiles can be “matched” to the bears. We will demonstrate lining them up and determining how many FEWER is seen of one set. This will be modeled 2-3 more times and then the partners will do the same, but record their answers on the recording sheet as shown below.
