Grade level 1 Lesson title Subtraction facts to 10
Step 1—Desired Results
Standards, benchmarks, other objectives as needed (e.g., IEP)—What should students know,
understand, and be able to do as a result of the lesson?
How can I use number bonds to find what is missing?
Understand that subtraction means taking away
Subtraction means’ minus ‘or ‘less ‘
Count on and count back to subtract
Use number bonds to subtract
Use addition facts to find the missing part
Students will use previous understanding of part and whole to arrive at whole – part
1 = part 2 and vice versa
Use subtraction in an equation example 5 – 2 = 3
Essential Vocabulary – take away , subtract , minus , subtraction sentence , less than
Step 2—Assessment Evidence
Performance task—What will students do to show what they have learned?
Performance criteria—How good are good enough to meet standards?
Students will use addition facts to write subtraction equation
Use counters to act out subtraction word problems
Model subtraction using Number bonds and Ten frames
Step 3—Learning Plan
Learning activities (step by step from start to finish, detailed enough for another teacher to follow)
Step 1 - Teacher shows 5 counters to children, I had 5 cookies I shared 2 cookies with my friend. Teacher
takes 2 counters and keeps it away. How many are left, left means remaining with me?
Step 2 – Subtraction, taking away means the same
5 – 2 = 3 (this is a subtraction sentence)
Hands on Activity
Materials needed Ten’s frame
Counters
9 – 3 =?
Place 9 counters on the ten’s frame. Take away from 3 (take away means less)
9-3 = 6
Similarly Solve 7 -2 and 8 -5
- Using number lines to count on or count backwards
Students use number line to count forward or backward 7 – 2 = 5 from 7 count 2 backwards or from 2 count till
7 to find the answer
- Using Number bonds to subtract
Rita had 5 candies she gave 2 to her sister. How much is left with Rita?
Ask - What is the total number of candies? 5 will that be the part or whole? 5 is the whole and one part is 2 what
will be the other part?
2
Write the number bond on the board 5

Step 4—Reflection
What happened during my lesson? What did my students learn? How do I know?
What did I learn? How will I improve my lesson next time?
