Description

• This lesson plan consists of beginning subtraction problems for kindergarten students.

•  

Goals

• Students will learn:
  
  * To subtract problems by looking at the objects
  
  

•  

Materials Needed

• * You will need the math worksheet that I have provided
  
  * You can also use objects such as balls to show students the math problems
  
  * Students will need pencils and erasers
  

•  

Procedure

• First, you will show the students how to subtract by giving them examples.
  
  Take out four balls. Put four balls in one pile. Take away one ball. Ask a student how many balls are left. Then, you can write the problem out and illustrate it with the balls again to show the students how to subtract. 4 balls - 1 ball = 3 balls
  
  You can do this with different problems a few times before you give the students the worksheet.
