Lesson

Yesterday we subtracted groups of objects. When we subtracted the objects we made less objects.

We would use the subtraction symbol to let us know we were subtracting the objects.

Sometimes words can let us know we are subtracting.

Let’s try a word problem. John has 3 dogs. One dog ran away. How many dogs does John have left ?

First we can draw 3 dogs for John. 1 23

John has 3 dogs and one dog ran away. How many dogs does John have left? 3 -= 1 2

Tom has 7 slices of pizza. Tom

His friend Jerry ate 4 slices of pizza. What does 7 minus 4 equal? TomJerry

7 – 4 = 3 TomJerry

Sally had 4 glasses of milk. Sue had 2 glasses of milk. SallySue

How many more glasses of milk did Sally have than Sue? SallySue

4 – 2 = 2 SallySue

Pete has 4 pencils. Matt has 1 pencil. Pete Matt

What is the difference between the number of pencils Pete has and the number of pencils Matt has? PeteMatt
