Lesson Plan for Teachers on Subtracting Two-Digit Numbers

Lesson Title:Subtracting Two-Digit Numbers

Lesson Objective: Students will be able to subtract two-digit numbers with regrouping/borrowing.

Materials: Whiteboard, markers, subtraction worksheets, base ten blocks or manipulatives

Introduction: Begin the lesson by reviewing the concept of subtraction. Remind students that subtraction is the process of finding the difference between two numbers. Write the equation “10 – 3 = 7” on the whiteboard and ask students to identify the problem and the solution.

Direct Instruction:

1. Introduce the concept of regrouping/borrowing. Explain that when subtracting two-digit numbers, sometimes we need to borrow from the tens place to make subtraction possible. Use base ten blocks or manipulatives to demonstrate how to borrow.
2. Model a subtraction problem on the whiteboard, such as “27 – 8” and demonstrate the process of borrowing and regrouping.
3. Have students complete a worksheet with subtraction problems that require regrouping/borrowing.

Guided Practice:

1. Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a set of subtraction problems that require regrouping/borrowing.
2. Have each student in the group work on one problem at a time, then compare answers with their group members.
3. Walk around the room and assist students as needed.

Independent Practice:

1. Provide each student with a worksheet of subtraction problems that require regrouping/borrowing.
2. Allow students to work independently and encourage them to check their work once they are finished.
3. Collect the worksheets for assessment.

Closure:

1. Review the key concepts of the lesson with the class.
2. Have students share one thing they learned during the lesson.
3. Provide a homework assignment for students to practice subtraction with regrouping/borrowing.

Assessment:

1. Observe students during independent practice to assess understanding.
2. Collect and grade the worksheets completed during independent practice.
3. Give a short quiz at the next class to assess student retention of the material.

Note:

  • This lesson is designed for Second grade level, adjust the difficulty level and examples accordingly for different grade level
  • Make sure to include hands-on activities, examples and real-life connections to make the concept more relatable and easy to understand for the students.
  • Encourage students to ask questions and provide feedback for better understanding and engagement.
