Letter to Family
Dear Family,
I would like you to play a subtraction game with your child that involves eating.
For example, you might have 5 apples and your child eats 1 apple so there are
4 apples left. Help your child draw a picture and write a number sentence to
tell what happened. For example, your child could draw a picture of 5 apples,
cross 1 apple out, and write the number sentence 5 - 1 = 4. Please begin with
no more than 10 objects when you are playing this game.
In class I will put the children in pairs, and they will share their pictures and
number sentences.
Your child needs to bring this to school by
