What educators are saying
I loved using this resource with my students! It was a helpful way to help them remember the symbol for subtracting!
This was a great fun way to introduce subtraction. My students for some reason were so intrigued by Linus the Minus and they couldn't stop talking about him even when we moved on from subtraction!
Description
This 10 page mini booklet will complement your unit study on basic BEGINNING subtraction skills and subtraction story problems! Your students will gain practice with a variety of subtraction strategies such as "hopping back" on the number line, 10 frame cross out, draw a picture, number bonds, and write an equation. These story problems engage students by using characters and names they are familiar with--like problems with a Groovy Cat who has lost some buttons, a big red dog who buries some bones, a Little Mermaid who has dropped her magical shells, and a Scaredy Squirrel who spots killer bees. ;)
A page-sized poster of Linus the Minus Guy is also included!
