III. Teaching Strategies
Components Duration Activities and Procedures
1. Introduce the lesson topic: "Today, we will be practicing our reading skills while solving
subtraction problems with integers. This will help us understand how to subtract
positive and negative numbers more effectively."
2. Review the concept of positive and negative integers, providing examples to reinforce
understanding.
Pre Reading 10 mins
3. Discuss key vocabulary terms related to subtraction of integers, such as "difference,"
"negative," "positive," "subtract," "decrease," and "minuend."
4. Model how to read a subtraction problem involving integers aloud, emphasizing the
importance of identifying the signs (+ or -) and understanding the relationship between
positive and negative numbers.
1. Distribute copies of subtraction problems involving integers to students, ensuring that
the problems vary in complexity to accommodate different skill levels.
2. Encourage students to read each problem carefully, paying attention to the signs (+ or -)
and identifying the numbers being subtracted.
3. Provide support and guidance as students work through the problems, offering

needed.
4. Encourage students to use the pre-reading strategies discussed earlier to approach each
problem systematically.
5. Circulate the classroom to monitor students' progress and provide individualized
support as needed.
1. Review the solutions to the subtraction problems involving integers as a class, inviting
students to share their approaches and reasoning.
2. Encourage students to explain their thought processes and strategies for solving each
problem, emphasizing the importance of understanding the signs and applying the rules
Post for subtracting positive and negative numbers.

Reading 3. Address any misconceptions or errors that arise during the discussion, providing
additional explanations or examples as needed.
4. Reinforce the connection between reading comprehension skills and mathematical
problem-solving abilities, highlighting the value of being able to understand and
interpret mathematical language effectively.
1. Prompt students to reflect on their experience with reading subtraction problems
involving integers during the lesson.
2. Encourage students to write about:
 Any challenges they encountered while solving the problems and how they
overcame them.
Journal
Writing  Strategies they found helpful for understanding mathematical vocabulary and
concepts through reading.
 The importance of being able to read and comprehend subtraction problems
involving integers accurately in their own words.
3. Allow students time to write their responses in their journals, emphasizing the
importance of thoughtful reflection and self-assessment.
