Purpose:
Students will deepen their understanding of subtraction through the standard
form.
Objective:
Students will be able to identify and highlight key words in word problems.

Common Core Standards:
NBT.B.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of
operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
OA.A.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving
situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all
positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the
problem.

Assessments: (See Attached)

Materials:
Smart pals
Word problems worksheet

Procedures:
A. Introduction
Allow students to do stretching.
Transition students to carpet
Review the steps of a subtraction problem involving regrouping
Practice a subtraction problem as a class
Have students practice a subtraction problem individually
Write a word problem on the board and remind students the importance of
recognizing key words in the problem.
Engage students in peer talk about what are some key words that help us
identify if a problem is asking for subtraction
Identify key words in the word problem and solve.
B. Development
Transition students to their seats and hand out word problems worksheet.
Do regrouping song and remind students about regrouping
Do first problem as a class; highlighting key words and solving problem
Allow students to complete the rest of the worksheet on their own.
Walk around check for understanding and any area for reteaching

C. Conclusion
Come together as a class and correct the work
Address any misconceptions on the topic
Review the importance of key words in a word problem
Review the importance of regrouping when needed.
Transition students to lunch.
Adaptations & Extensions: ST will continually walk around classroom to check for understanding and
taking note of any re-teaching that needs to be done. For those students who are finished early and
have shown an exemplary understanding of the concept; will be asked to be student teachers and help
their peers who may be struggling.
Students 11, 16, 19, and 22 will be pulled into small group to work on worksheet.
Management Considerations: Redirection if needed as well as behavior chart and bucket fillers.
Behavior chart: A classroom management system of 6 colors (White, pink, green, yellow, brown,
red). If misbehaviors are consistent they will be asked to change their color. If student is
showing exemplary behavior they will be asked to change their color.
Bucket fillers: a classroom management system focused toward a team effort. The goal is to
fill a bucket with blocks, and once its filled the students receive a treat.
