Activities in this teaching pack include a template to identify and record how to count back when completing subtraction calculations using single digit numbers and a set of cards to role-play a fishing game to identify sums when completing subtraction calculations to ten.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record the matching sums when subtracting single digit numbers from ten to represent fish bought in a shop at the seaside.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to calculate and record the difference between pairs of numbers to ten by counting back to show numbers of items sold in a shop at the seaside. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
