Good Afternoon!
The three kindergarteners tackled addition problems yesterday and today, subtraction was on the agenda! They used unifix cubes to help them solve three word problems. They all were able to start with the first number and correctly take away the smaller number to find the answer! Children were also able to work on their one to one correspondence skills along with formation of numbers.
K.CA.1-2: Solve real- world problems, objects, or drawings that involve addition and subtraction within 10. Demonstrate the equation (e.g. 5=2+3 and 5=4+1).
We read, ‘The Three Little Pigs’ in K/PREK1 group today. Yesterday, we read a different version of the story titled, ‘The True Story of the Three Little Pigs’ which is narrated by the Wolf! The storylines are quite different so throughout the story today, we compared various events and how they were different in each story.
When we finished the story, each child was given one story problem where they had to subtract! I read aloud the story problem and we wrote the two numbers down that they’d be using for their subtraction problem. They used colored counters to find the answer! Everyone got the hang of subtracting within no time at all!
