Teach children to recite and write subtraction equations for numbers up to 10.



Directions

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to teach the lesson.

Progress to the next lesson when children master the current lesson.

Value mastery over speed of progression.

Steps

STEP 1

Have children recite each equation listed below.

STEP 2

Have children copy on paper each equation listed below.

EQUATIONS

  • 10 less 0 is 10
  • 10 minus 0 equals 10
  • 10 - 0 = 10

  • 10 less 1 is 9
  • 10 minus 1 equals 9
  • 10 - 1 = 9

  • 10 less 2 is 8
  • 10 minus 2 equals 8
  • 10 - 2 = 8

  • 10 less 3 is 7
  • 10 minus 3 equals 7
  • 10 - 3 = 7

  • 10 less 4 is 6
  • 10 minus 4 equals 6
  • 10 - 4 = 6

  • 10 less 5 is 5
  • 10 minus 5 equals 5
  • 10 - 5 = 5

  • 10 less 6 is 4
  • 10 minus 6 equals 4
  • 10 - 6 = 4

  • 10 less 7 is 3
  • 10 minus 7 equals 3
  • 10 - 7 = 3

  • 10 less 8 is 2
  • 10 minus 8 equals 2
  • 10 - 8 = 2

  • 10 less 9 is 1
  • 10 minus 9 equals 1
  • 10 - 9 = 1

  • 10 less 10 is 0
  • 10 minus 10 equals 0
  • 10 - 10 = 0

Repeat this lesson every day until children can easily recite and write the equations.
