 The FREE Brick Math Lesson of the Month for September 2025 comes from Brick Math's Subtraction. To get this lesson, click here, and you'll also get a new free Brick Math lesson every month after that. This lesson teaches students how to subtract within 20 and uses a strategy called "ten-frames," which helps students see the numbers as they relate to the number 10. This is key to helping students think about math in the base 10 system, without talking about that terminology yet.  The lesson starts with pages from the Teacher Edition of Brick Math Subtraction. The first model shows the concept of subtracting 6 minus 4. The next model shows 12 minus 8. In each case, the models are built on ten-frames, which help to show the numbers in the context of 10. The lesson uses important subtraction vocabulary words like subtrahend and difference.  The last two pages of the Lesson of the Month come from the Student workbook for Brick Math Subtraction. These are the pages students use as they follow the teacher's lesson. In these pages, the students respond to questions and draw the brick models as they build them. This is all part of the Brick Math learning method, which starts with building models, then drawing the models, and then explaining the math in words. It's a proven method that gets real results with students.  The Brick Math curriculum is divided into 13 separate content areas: Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Basic Fractions, Basic Measurement, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Advanced Measurement and Geometry, Decimals, Data and Statistics, and Pre-Algebra.
Students can start anywhere in the curriculum. Brick Math can be used as a complete math curriculum or brought in as a supplement to help students who aren't having math success with other programs. Check BrickMath.com to learn more!
