  • Week 6: Subtracting within 10

  • Follow-Up Ideas/Activities:

    • Grab a 10 frame (draw or print off of google). Create a subtraction equation using play-doh. To subtract a number, squish the play-doh on the 10 frame.

    • Create your own Elevator Magic story! Write a story about going down an elevator, what floors you stop at, and how many floors you have to go down to reach your destination. Read this story to your parents, or send a video of you reading this story to your teacher!

  • Week 5: Solving for an Unknown Difference

  • Follow-Up Ideas/Activities:

    • Use balls of Play-doh, legos, or anything that is the same size to compare two numbers. If you have seven balls of green Play-doh, and 5 balls of yellow play-doh, how many more green Play-doh balls do you have than yellow. Continue this with different numbers.

    • Continue working on counting backwards. Stand up tall and jump each time you say a number. As you say each lower number, make yourself a little lower to the ground. As the number gets smaller, you get smaller!

  • Week 4: Use a number path to help you subtract

  • Follow-Up Ideas/Activities:

    • Draw your own number path with chalk outside. Hop from number to number as you practice subtraction equations.

    • Practice counting backwards. Start at the number 20 and count backward to 0. Have a family member pick a new number, and practice counting to 0 from that number.
