Today’s Adventure: Subtracting Multiples of 10! – Learn to subtract bigger numbers – Understand subtraction as ‘taking away’ – Subtract multiples of 10 easily – Like 60 – 20, where both numbers end in zero – Use number lines for help – Visualize jumps back on a number line – Practice makes perfect | This slide introduces second graders to the concept of subtracting larger numbers, specifically focusing on multiples of 10. Begin by explaining subtraction as the process of ‘taking away’ one number from another. Emphasize that when subtracting multiples of 10, the numbers are bigger but the process is just as simple as with smaller numbers. Demonstrate using a number line to show how to ‘jump back’ in tens to subtract. Encourage lots of practice with different examples to build confidence and reinforce the concept. Prepare a set of practice problems for students to work on, both in class and as homework, to solidify their understanding.

Understanding Subtraction – Subtraction means taking away – It shows us the amount left over – Example: 5 apples – 2 eaten – Start with 5 apples, eat 2, how many left? – We have 3 apples left – Subtracting 2 from 5 leaves us with 3 | This slide introduces the basic concept of subtraction to second graders. Subtraction is explained as the process of taking away numbers from a group to find out how many are left. Use everyday examples, like eating apples, to make the concept relatable and easier to understand. Emphasize that subtraction helps us figure out the remaining quantity after some has been taken away. The example provided uses a simple subtraction problem involving apples to illustrate the concept. Encourage students to think of other examples from their daily lives where they take away items from a group and count what’s left. This will help solidify their understanding of subtraction as a foundational mathematical operation.

Subtracting Multiples of 10 – What are multiples of 10? – Numbers like 10, 20, 30, each increasing by 10 – Recognizing multiples of 10 – They always end with a zero – Counting by tens – Practice counting: 10, 20, 30, up to 100 – Easy subtraction with tens – Subtracting 10 is like taking away one group of ten | This slide introduces second graders to the concept of multiples of 10 and how to easily subtract them. Start by explaining that multiples of 10 are simply numbers that we get when we count by tens. Emphasize that these numbers always end with a zero, which makes them special and easy to identify. Engage the class in counting by tens together to reinforce the pattern. Then, demonstrate how subtracting multiples of 10 is straightforward because you’re just removing one ‘group of ten’ at a time. Use visual aids like blocks or counters to show this concept in a tangible way. Encourage students to practice with examples and to check their understanding by explaining the process back to you or a partner.

Subtracting Multiples of 10 – Subtracting ‘tens’ from numbers – Imagine removing 10-block stacks – Picture a tower of blocks, each stack has 10 blocks – Example: 60 – 20 – From 6 stacks of 10, we remove 2 stacks – Visualize subtraction with blocks – Helps understand subtraction by visualizing | This slide is aimed at helping second-grade students understand the concept of subtracting multiples of 10 by visualizing the process. Start by explaining that when we subtract multiples of 10, we are essentially taking away ‘tens’. Use the analogy of removing stacks of 10 blocks from a larger tower to make the concept more tangible for the students. For instance, if we have 60, which is like 6 stacks of 10 blocks, and we subtract 20, which is 2 stacks of 10 blocks, we are left with 4 stacks of 10 blocks or 40. Encourage students to use physical blocks or drawings to practice this concept. This visualization technique will help them grasp the idea of subtraction in a more concrete and relatable way.

Let’s Practice Together: Subtracting Multiples of 10 – Start with 70 (7 tens) – Remove 30 (3 tens) – Count what’s left: 40 – Understand subtraction visually – Visualize with blocks: 7 stacks minus 3 stacks equals 4 stacks | This slide is an interactive class activity designed to help second-grade students understand the concept of subtracting multiples of 10 using a visual aid. Begin by explaining that each stack of blocks represents a group of 10. Show them 7 stacks for 70 and remove 3 stacks for 30. Ask the students to count the remaining stacks to find the answer, which is 40. This visual representation helps solidify the concept of subtraction by dealing with tangible groups of ten. Encourage the students to use their fingers or draw pictures to represent the stacks of blocks if physical blocks are not available. The goal is for students to recognize that subtracting multiples of 10 is simply removing a certain number of ‘tens’ and seeing what remains.

Subtraction Tricks: Multiples of 10 – Use a number chart for patterns – Visualize subtracting 10s on a chart – Skip count backwards by 10s – Like hopscotch, jump back 10 steps – Ones place stays the same – If you have 45 and subtract 10, you get 35! – Practice with examples – Try 30 – 10 or 80 – 20 to see the trick! | This slide is aimed at helping second graders understand the concept of subtracting multiples of 10. A number chart can be a useful visual aid for them to see the pattern that emerges when they subtract multiples of 10. Encourage them to practice skip counting backwards by 10s as if they’re playing a game of hopscotch. Highlight that the ones digit remains unchanged during this process, which is a key observation for them to make. Provide several examples for the students to work through and reinforce the concept. For instance, subtracting 10 from 30 to get 20, or subtracting 20 from 80 to get 60, helps them see the pattern and understand the concept of subtraction with multiples of 10.

Class Activity: Subtracting Multiples of 10 with Blocks – Learn subtraction using base-10 blocks – Pair up and solve problems together – Discuss your solutions with your partner – Share your findings with the class | This interactive class activity is designed to help second-grade students understand the concept of subtracting multiples of 10 using a hands-on approach. Provide each pair of students with base-10 blocks. Demonstrate how to use the blocks to represent and subtract multiples of 10 from two-digit numbers. Encourage students to work collaboratively to solve a set of subtraction problems and discuss their strategies with each other. After the activity, ask pairs to present their solutions and explain their reasoning to the class. This will reinforce their understanding and allow them to learn from each other. Possible activities for different pairs could include subtracting 10 from numbers like 30, 50, or 70, or more challenging tasks like subtracting 20, 30, or 40 from numbers like 60, 80, or 90.

Homework Challenge: Subtracting Multiples of 10 – Practice subtracting multiples of 10 – Complete the subtraction worksheet – Finish all the problems on the sheet – Each problem subtracts a multiple of 10 – For example, 60 – 20 or 90 – 30 – Bring completed worksheet for a sticker | This homework is designed to reinforce the concept of subtracting multiples of 10, which is an important foundational skill in second-grade mathematics. The worksheet should include a variety of problems that require students to subtract multiples of 10 from two-digit numbers. Encourage students to use mental math strategies they’ve learned in class, such as thinking about place value or using a number line. Remind them to check their work for accuracy. The incentive of a special sticker aims to motivate them to complete the worksheet and bring it back to class. Be prepared to review the homework in the next class and provide the stickers as promised. This will also be an opportunity to assess students’ understanding and address any difficulties they may have encountered.

Subtraction Success! – Congratulations on learning subtraction! – You’re becoming subtraction stars! – Keep practicing multiples of 10 – Try subtracting 10, 20, 30 from numbers – Ask questions if you’re unsure – Always ask for help when needed | This slide is a celebration of the students’ accomplishment in learning to subtract multiples of 10. It’s important to acknowledge their hard work and encourage them to continue practicing to reinforce their skills. Remind them that subtraction is a building block for more complex math problems they will encounter. Encourage them to practice with different numbers to become more confident. Also, emphasize the importance of asking questions whenever they are unsure about a problem; this will help them overcome challenges and continue to grow as math learners.
