STEP 1

MENTAL MATHS

The teacher begins the lesson with some mental calculations

Calculate

1. 13 - 5 =

2. 16 -  9 =

3. 15 - 9 =

4. 11 - 6=

5. 12 - 8=

6. 12 - 7 =

7. 16 - 7 =

8. 12 - 9 =

9. 12 - 6 =

10. 11 - 9 =

Pupils respond and participate

STEP 2

CONCEPT

DEVELOPMENT

The teacher writes 138 -53 = _____ on the board. The pupils are asked to solve the question using the simplified pictorial(hundreds, tens and ones should be crossed out using double lines and make sure arrows are drawn to signify borrowing)

 So 135- 58 = 85

She further uses the column method to subtract the same example
