Seasonal Subtraction - PowerPoint

This PowerPoint presentation is a Maths teaching resource that focuses on developing subtraction skills using a number line. It is designed to help students practice and understand the concept of subtraction in a visual and interactive way. The presentation starts with simple subtraction problems, such as 6 - 2 = 4 and 11 - 8 = 3, to warm up the students' minds. Then it introduces the key learning objective of the session, which is to practice subtracting using a number line, a tool that can greatly assist students in visualising and solving subtraction problems.

The PowerPoint further explains how a number line can be used to aid in the subtraction process. It demonstrates this by taking a subtraction problem, such as 8 - 3 = 5, and showing how to start at the first number and count backwards by the value of the second number to find the answer. The students are then encouraged to apply this method to solve a series of subtraction problems provided in the presentation. To reinforce their learning, the presentation includes various subtraction worksheets where students can practice the skills they have learned. Additionally, there are answers provided for the subtraction problems, allowing students to check their work and understand where they might have gone wrong. The interactive element of the resource is enhanced with a colouring activity, making the learning process both educational and enjoyable.
