Lesson 8

Algoritmos de resta (parte 1)

Lesson Purpose

The purpose of this lesson is for students to use their knowledge of base-ten diagrams to make sense of a written subtraction algorithm.

Lesson Narrative

In previous lessons, students revisited subtraction within 1,000 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction. In this lesson, students are introduced to a subtraction algorithm that clearly shows the subtraction of ones from ones, tens from tens, and hundreds from hundreds, and is similar to one of the initial addition algorithms in a prior lesson. Students should have access to base-ten blocks as needed.
