LI: To subtract within 20.
Watch, discuss and solve subtraction problems on the chosen subtraction PowerPoints adapted to your child’s abilities (see different PowerPoints – subtracting within 10 and 20).
Prepare some counters to enable your child to solve subtraction problems. For example, use colouring pencils, buttons, pasta shapes, etc.
Encourage your child to:
- read subtraction sentences.
