Rosie Revere, Engineer, by Andrea Beaty, tells the story of a girl who wants to be a great engineer. She loves making gadgets and tries to make a machine for her great-great-great-aunt so that she can fly. This book is about following your dreams and understanding that perseverance is part of the inventor’s (or engineer’s) process and that you only truly fail if you quit.

Review counting backward from 10 using fingers.

Lesson 5:

I can subtract word problems. ( I can draw pictures to illustrate the story and write an equation).

Practice:

Can you tell your grown-up the number sentence for each picture? Remember: the big number comes first.

Lesson 6:

I can subtract fluently within 5. (I can visualize the problem to help me subtract in my head.)

Practice:

Close your eyes.  Imagine there are 5 circles.  Take 1 circle away.  How many circles are left?

Close your eyes.  Imagine there are 4 squares.  Take away 2 squares.  How many squares are left?

Close your eyes.  Imagine there are 3 stars.  Take away 2 stars.  How many stars are left?

Complete the practice pages using the subtraction strategy (fingers, objects, pictures) that you find the easiest.  Try to think of the answer in your head first.
