We have been working on subtraction story problems. There are many different ways to approach a subtraction problem. It can be a simple take away or more complicated comparing problem. Or even harder, an algebraic one. Topic 2 has been a tricky one because not only are we learning how to subtract but we are also learning how to subtract listening to the language they are presenting. I'm going to take an extra day next week to do some math journaling and rotations (center type) to practice the different types of problems. We will hit up subtraction again in later topics but I want to make sure they have a good handle on the language. If we need more teaching after the assessment on Friday, I will spend some time reteaching. I use Whole and parts when describing addition and subtraction problems to them. I may also send a practice sheet or two home next week just to reinforce our learning here at school.
Since we are going to be studying Bats next week, these are some of the bat ones that they will work on during the rotations.
