Subtraction


This month we have started to look and understand the concept of subtraction in math.  Students use manipulatives, pictures, number bonds, and number sentences to show their understanding.  New workplaces and white board practice have children learning that when you take something away from a group, you subtract that much from the total, leaving a smaller amount leftover.  We will continue connecting their understanding of subtraction and how it relates to addition and continue to grow our math vocabulary as we learn new words (minus, take away, sum, difference, etc.)
