How to Use This Pack

Ten lesson plans, one for each lesson of a Kindergarten unit on subtraction within 10, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the ten lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers, tools and quizzes for the lesson.

In the Classroom

Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 35 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching on the rug, 5 minutes together, 10 minutes of practice and an exit ticket you read aloud. Much of the practice is hands-on, with counters, plates, cups and drawings. The exit tickets and the unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons. Lessons 7.5 (subtracting on a number path) and 7.10 (subtraction facts to 10) are for the states that teach them in Kindergarten.

At Home

Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson with toys or snacks to take away (eating them counts), and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Tips for Success

  • Read the "Watch for" box before the lesson: it is what to listen for while children work
  • Act every story out with real things first, then draw it, then write it
  • Sort the exit tickets into got it, almost and not yet to plan the next day
  • Use the help and challenge ideas for small groups during practice

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • K.OA.A.1 Show adding and taking away in many ways: fingers, objects, pictures, sounds, acting out, words, or number sentences.
