| First the kiddos put 10 tokens in their "stash" at the top. This is where they return their tokens after each problem is worked out. This has to be taught to them. |
 |
| I pull out a card. We talk about which one is the biggest number and how in subtraction we always have to start with the largest number, therefore that is the amount we put in the large square |
 |
| We then take away or in this case "throw away" the other number into the cup. It is a great visual for the kids and it keeps the subtracted pieces separate. We then find the answer card and put it on the board. When this card is finished we put all the pieces back in our stash at the top and start over. |

just in time for my lesson plans for next week! You rock!! Thank you so much!
Love it! I'll definitely be using this! Do you have any great tips like this one for addition? We begin addition next week.
Hi Buggy in Kindergarten! I used a similar mat for addition. It had two squares at the top with a plus sign in between them. They then put the first number of the problem in the first box and the second number in the second box. They then pulled them all together into the large box at the bottom. This was their answer.Clear as mud? It was so useful when we moved into independent work. The kiddos could pull one out and grab some tokens to work their problems. It's at school so I can't post it but I'll try to remember and post it soon!
I gave you an award--come check it out on my blog!

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing idea.
The only comment I have to make is not to tell the students that when we subtract we always start with the larger number. Instead tell them we start with the first number. The reason for this change in language when presenting the problem has to do with building in future concepts. When students start working with integers, they think that they cannot do problems like 3-5 because they have always been told you cannot subtract a larger number from a smaller number. It may seem like a long way off from where you are now but it is important to build in those concepts early.

Thanks for sharing! Planning to re-teach subtraction with more hands on experiences to solidify their understanding. :)

Hello. I'm a teacher from France. I teach in a small village from last year of kindergarten(5 years old) to 2nd grade (7-8 yo). I have a kid who can't comprehend abstraction in maths (she's a 1st grader) and this will be very helpful. Thaks a lot for sharing!!

Love it - thanks!
very good submit, i definitely love this website, carry on it online casinos for us players
I love the idea and the card format. When you discuss putting the largest number first remember you can take the larger from the smaller, the answer is negative. I would be careful when saying that you always put the larger first, as in the future they will see other options.
