Grade: First
Model: Station Teaching
Teacher 1: Coyne
Teacher 2: Major
Paraprofessional: Martin
Subject: First Grade Math Topic/Lesson: Subtraction within 20 Date: Fall 2017
Standard(s): CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.C.6
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within
10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 =
14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9);
using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12,
one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding
6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Lesson Outcomes:
I can subtract within in 20 using a number line, drawing a picture or using manipulatives.
Materials Needed:
1. Class set of iPads
2. Counting manipulatives (Ex: bears, fruits, chips)
3. Number Lines
4. Vocabulary cards, Math Toolbox Notebooks, glue sticks and scissors
5. Dry erase Boards and Markers
6. Set of 2 Dixie Cups with subtraction problems within 20 written on them. Answer on inside of
cup as a self-check.
Vocabulary:
1. Subtraction
2. Minus sign
3. Equal sign
4. Difference
5. Count back
6. Take away

dice to make subtraction problems using
manipulatives to solve. All students will
record each equation on their dry erase
board and use the manipulatives to find
the answer. Students will take turns
rolling the dice. Teacher 1 will watch
and observe each students equation on
the white boards as well as their work
with the manipulatives. She will make
corrections and help any student who
needs. Teacher 1 will use the
vocabulary words as they practice
solving problems (take away,
subtraction, minus sign, equal sign).
Teacher 1 will explain the importance
of putting the larger number first.
