[Students will practice counting, adding, subtracting, and
looking at less/more by filling in a base ten pyramid sheet
Independent Practice with the manipulatives. They will have to make the
connection that each time we move down the pyramid,
they will have one less/they will have to subtract by one.]
When can you use counting when you are at the grocery
store with your parents? [Counting how many items you
have.]
Where are places you can use subtraction in real life?
What would happen if a dog came back? Why?
What would happen if one of the dogs came to school?

[Tienda de alimentacin, contando el nmero de objeto la izquierda,
compartiendo una pizza, etc.]
LESSON ELABORATION, EXTENSION, AND MODIFICATION
Elaboration: Help students understand better by having them use their fingers to take
one away each time a dog leaves. Give them a cup where they can place the dogs that
leave in. This way they can see how many are gone opposed to how many they have left.
Then we can help them make the connection that those amounts added together are the
same as ten.
Extension: Students can create their own word problems about the dogs leaving. They
can have more than one dog leave at a time or start with more dogs for a greater
challenge. They have to figure out how many dogs are left each time a group of dogs
leave.
Modifications: I will have the song printed out on sheets with large font for everyone to
see, preferential seating, hand-over-hand if necessary, dog manipulatives, base-ten
pyramid sheet to place manipulatives on, positive specific praise.
ASSESSMENT
Students will be individually tested on counting and being able to subtract one on a one
on one testing basis throughout the week.
