Letter to Family

Dear Family,

I would like you to do something with your child that involves subtraction. For

example, you might have three orange slices. Your child eats one orange slice,

so there are two orange slices left. Then I would like you to help your child draw

a picture and write a number sentence to show what happened. For example,

your child could draw a picture of 3 orange slices, cross 1 slice out, and write

the number sentence 3 – 1 = 2. Please start with no more than ten objects

when you are doing this activity.

In class we will organize the subtraction number sentences into fact families

and write the addition sentences to go with each fact family. In the above exam-

ple, 3 – 2 = 1 is the related fact for 3 – 1 = 2. The addition sentences that are

part of this fact family are 2 + 1 = 3 and 1 + 2 = 3.

Your child needs to bring this to school by

(date)

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
