Base 10 and standard Subtraction (no regrouping) - Lesson for Grade 1, Chapter - Addition and Subtraction - less than 20
In the lesson "Base 10 and Standard Subtraction (no regrouping)," first-grade students will embark on a foundational journey into the realm of subtraction within the "Foundations in Operations Within 100" unit. This lesson is pivotal as it lays the groundwork for understanding how numbers work together in subtraction, focusing on numbers less than 20, and introduces students to the Base 10 system, a cornerstone of our numerical world.
Students will engage in various activities designed to bolster their subtraction skills. Starting with the "Count Back to Subtract Subtraction Worksheet," they will practice the intuitive method of counting backwards to find differences. This builds a practical understanding of subtraction as reducing quantities.
The "Matching Subtraction Equations to Base 10 Models Worksheet" will introduce students to the visual representation of numbers using Base 10 blocks. This method reinforces the concept of place value and how it's applied in subtraction, making abstract concepts tangible.
Through the "Solving Subtraction Equations Worksheet," students will apply what they've learned by tackling subtraction problems directly, enhancing their computational skills.
