Subtract with Pete!

We started subtraction this week. Of course, we have to read "Pete the Cat and his four groovy buttons" by James Dean! Love that book!  I especially love that you can go to the website and listen to the groovy music.  The kids love it!!

 

So anyway I wanted to do a simple subtraction matching page to go with the book. 

 I made this quick subtraction matching sheet.

Here is a subtraction video that I can't stop singing!  My kids love it!

Mr. Harry has the best songs!

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

Subtraction linking cards and a FREEBIE!

Well, we have a SNOW day!!  YAY!  This storm was suppose to produce 1-3 inches instead we got dumped on 7-9 inches of heavy wet snow.  On the bright side it's March and won't be around for long.  It'll be 58 and gone by Friday! Just gave us an extra day to our spring break!  I will take it!
I have been working on Subtraction units!
I made some subtraction linking cards similar to the addition linking cards I made when we were learning addition.  Simply print, laminate, and hole punch the little black dot.  The students use learning links from Learning Resources to make linking chains.  They link the first number then take off the second number to find the answer.  The kids have fun and learn that subtraction is taking away!  Click here to go to my TPT store to buy your own subtraction center!

Here is a FREEBIE!  Click here to go to my TPT store to download the number linking cards. I made these to 30 but added a blank sheet so you could make your own.

Enjoy!

 
 

Spring Subtraction

I'm so excited about this unit!  We are going to start subtraction in two weeks and I think these activities are going to be perfect for my kiddos.  It will help them understand that concept that subtraction is taking away!  I just uploaded it to my store so stop by and grab a copy.

 

The subtraction wheels are a great center activity.  You will need 8 clothespins.  Write one number 1-8 on each clothespins. Subtract the pictures from the number in the middle and put the correct clothespin to make the answer on each.  You use dry eraser makers to cross off each one to help them find the answer. 

 

 

 

 


 Subtraction Story problems.  The students draw the picture to solve the story problem.  I included a number line so the students can check their answer using it.  Then students write their equation in the bottom square.  5 of these are included.

These might be my favorite.  Students take each card and write the equation to go with it.  The count all the objects to get the first number then the ones with an x to get the second number.  Then the students count the ones without an x to get the answer.  A fun way to practice subtraction. There are two different ways to record their equations.  There is a recording sheets with all the answers to make checking it quick and easy for you.

Students cross off the second number to find the answer.  There are two pages. 

 The second one is harder and starts with larger numbers.
