Today went really well, we are working really hard on subtracting in math, and I really feel like the students are getting it. We have a set of rules… we called them “subtraction rules”. How creative, I know… but it is certainly working for the students. They have to go through the steps as a class before they can move from step to step.

Subtraction rules-
1. See if you can do the problem.
2. See if you can subtract the ones.
3. if you can- subtract the ones… if you can’t regroup the tens
4. subtract the tens
5. check

Students really seem to get it, and I also made sure that the Title teachers had the same steps, so that if students were going down for math title time, the teachers could keep working with the students with the same rules.
