Students are exploring with the concept of subtraction this week. A new math workplace, "Bug Catchers" has the children learning that when you take something away from a group, you subtract that much from the total, leaving a smaller amount leftover. Students are using bugs, fingers, and a number line to practice subtracting numbers less than 10. In a fun spin and record game, children learn to understand that concepts of subtraction, without rote memorization tasks. INQUIRE with your children how to play, "Bug Catchers." Can they give you an example of a subtraction problem using words to make a story?
