• Worksheets: Please complete every other problem (alternate between evens and odds so your child gets practice doing story problems AND “Vocabulary Check”/ “Test Practice” problems each week).  If your child wants to do every problem they are certainly free to do so! 🙂 Please check your child’s answers for accuracy!

• Practice your fluency timing repeatedly: “Subtracting from 4 and 5”.  Record your best time and score each day. [By the end of first grade, the target goal is to finish all 25 problems in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct).]  Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings

• For extra practice, utilize any of these math-fact-activities. There is also a copy provided in your blue folder.

Helpful Hint:  Use counters (pennies, buttons, macaroni, etc.) if needed to model subtraction  or draw pictures (e.g. simple circles) and cross off the number being subtracted. Count backwards when subtracting 1, 2, or 3: Start with the bigger number and count backwards (Example: 3 – 2.  Snap your finger and say “3″ and count backwards 2 times: say 3 (snap)…2…1).
