counting backward – Early Math Counts https://earlymathcounts.org Laying the foundation for a lifetime of achievement Tue, 11 Jul 2017 15:48:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 183791774 Teaching Subtraction https://earlymathcounts.org/teaching-subtraction/ https://earlymathcounts.org/teaching-subtraction/#respond Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:22:19 +0000 http://www.mathathome.org/blog1/?p=3274 Yesterday, I wrote about subtraction and how it is harder for children than addition since counting backward is not as common as counting forward.  I found this interesting lesson on this interesting website called Illuminations which is a website dedicated to teaching mathematics.  Everything on the site connects to the Common Core, the NCTM Standards, and is broken down by age groups.

This lesson is pretty interesting.  It is about “counting back.”  It says that it is for Prek-2nd, but I think it is pretty complex for most 4 year olds.  You might have some children who would benefit from a lesson like this.  Check it out.
