CURRICULUM FOCUS
This week we are exploring worded subtraction problems.
For example: Bree had eight marbles, but she lost five at morning tea. How many does she have left to play with at lunch?
The challenge is figuring out the number question that is being asked, then solving the number problem itself.
VOCABULARY
Worded question: a question written out in words.
ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING
