all 6 problems.)
4- acceptable (The student has the correct answers and showed all appropriate steps for 5
out of the 6 problems)
<3- needs work (The student has the correct answers and showed all appropriate steps for 4
or less out of the 6 problems.)
___/5 points.
3 level scale:
Level 1- little to no understanding
Level 2- showed understanding with minor errors
Level 3- showed understanding with no errors
Subject Matter/Content:
Prerequisites:
● They will already know how to add.
● They will already have learned how to subtract.
● They know how to count.
● They know how to line up the numbers when subtracting.
Key Vocabulary:
● Subtraction- the process or skill of taking one number or amount away from another.
● Borrow- in subtraction, take a unit from the next larger denomination.
● Addition- the action or process of adding something to something else.
Content/Facts:
● Knowing how to subtract across zeros.
● Knowing how to borrow for subtraction problems.
● Knowing how to show your work subtracting and getting the correct answer.
Introduction/Activating/Launch Strategies:
● Yesterday in math, we learned how to subtract larger numbers.
● Today we are going to practice more with subtracting.
● Before we do our problem of the day and practice more, we are going to watch a short
song to remind us how to regroup when we are subtracting.
● Play video: https://youtu.be/nku3jVLbPBw
Development/Teaching Approaches
● Everyone should have their math notebook out along with something to write with.
● We are going to start with a problem of the day to refresh our minds on how to
subtract.
● Put the problem on the day on the board.
● The problem of the day says Jenny has 250 marbles. She lets Sammy borrow 123.
How many marbles does Jenny have now?
● Does anyone know what kind of problem we need to set up in order to solve this
problem? (Subtraction)
● Correct! We want to create a subtraction problem. Can anybody tell me how I would
write a subtraction problem to see how many marbles Jenny has left? (250-123)
● Perfect! We want to make sure we line up our numbers and write neatly so we can
read what we are doing. Now in your notebooks, you want to solve this problem to
see how many marbles Jenny has after letting Sammy borrow 123 of them.
● Allow the students to have time to do the problem.
● Does someone want to tell me how to solve this problem? Do the work as they tell it
to me.
● Can someone read the answer in word form for me? (127)
● Correct! So Jenny has 127 marbles left after letting Sammy borrow 123 of them.
● Now everyone needs to pull out their homework which is in the textbook on page 69.
B group and virtual students should post a picture of their completed homework on
Google Classroom.
● On the smartboard, I will write the problems one at a time so we can go over it
together as a class. For numbers 1-8 on page 69, I will write each problem and ask
students to tell me how to solve each problem.
● Excellent job!
● Now we are going to practice subtraction problems where we are subtracting across
zeros.
● Boys and girls at home, go into your math google classroom and click on the
Subtraction Practice worksheet.
● Pass out the worksheet to students in person. Have the worksheet pulled up on the
smartboard.
● Go through the first three problems showing the students how we solve these types of
problems.
● We will go over the rest of the problems on the worksheet together as a class.
● For problems four to nine, I will have one student come up at a time to show how to
solve the problem. For students at home, they can use the annotate function to show
us how they solved the problems.
● Walk around and help the students who need help.
● Now that we finished that worksheet, turn it in on google classroom please.
● For the students at home, I want you to pull up the second worksheet that looks like
this. Pass out this worksheet to the students in person.
● You will be completing this worksheet on your own. Once you finish, please turn it in
and we can go over the answers tomorrow.
● Walk around and help the students who need some extra help.
Closure/Summarizing Strategies:
● Thank you boys and girls for being excellent listeners.
● You all are doing an excellent job with subtracting and we will be practicing more
tomorrow.
● Now we are going to get ready to go to lunch.
