Subtraction Using LEGO® Bricks—Student Edition (PDF)
[PDF Version—SINGLE USE ONLY. PDF SITE LICENSE FOR SCHOOL USE AVAILABLE ON WEBSITE] Student Workbook for Subtraction Using LEGO® Bricks
Young children have their first experiences with subtraction early, when they play games of giving some items and keeping other items. As they attach the concept of subtraction to mathematical operations, they learn important vocabulary words (minuend, subtrahend, difference). Later, repeated subtraction leads to understanding division.
In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO® bricks help students learn:
• start unknown subtraction
• change unknown subtraction
• result unknown subtraction
• comparisons
• decomposing numbers and place value
The Student Edition includes baseplate diagrams for students to work along with the teacher, drawing their models and explaining their thinking in writing. It also includes a student assessment for each chapter and a chart to track the student's progress.
