In the lesson titled "Writing Number Sentences for Subtraction Story Problem," kindergarten students will embark on an engaging journey into the world of basic arithmetic, specifically focusing on subtraction within the context of story problems. This lesson is a crucial part of the "Addition and Subtraction Story Problems" chapter, nestled within the broader unit on "Additional Practice with Numbers up to 20." Through a series of thematic activities, including the Australian Animal Subtraction Worksheet, Dance Class Subtraction Worksheet, and exercises on Solving Subtraction Story Problems with Supports, students will gain the skills necessary to understand and apply subtraction in real-world scenarios.
By participating in this lesson, students will learn how to interpret story problems, identify the elements that signify subtraction, and ultimately, write number sentences that accurately represent these problems. This foundational skill is important not just for mathematical proficiency but also for enhancing logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Understanding how to break down a story problem into a mathematical equation is a critical step in developing numerical literacy, which will serve students in all areas of their academic journey and beyond.
Some animals are peculiar to certain countries or continents. For example, the Kangaroo and Koala are natives of Australia. This country has a lot of these animals, and they can be found roaming free in a lot of areas in Australia. Now, test your child’s wildlife knowledge and ask them if they can name some more animals indigenous to Australia, or any other country. Then, show them the animals in this worksheet and check the box next to the number sentences given that matches each word problem and picture.
Dancing is a great form of exercise, and some people dance as professionals, expressing emotions and beautiful feelings through their body movements. If your kids are enrolled in any dance class, they might enjoy working on this worksheet best. Look at the picture with your kids. Can they identify the type of dance the girls are doing? Now, read the word problems to your kids and help them check the correct number sentence that answers the question.
This quiz assesses students’ ability to listen to and understand subtraction story problems, and solve them.
