Math: Subtract and Borrow

STEP 1

  • Teach the children in such cases to add ten to the units of the minuend before subtracting the digit number, and to subtract one from the tens of the minuend to obtain the tens of the answer.
  • Go through several of the examples from the table below with the children, until they grasp the concept.

STEP 2

  • Have the children complete the two exercises below by copying the problems and then solving them.
Exercise 1
Exercise 2

Math: Quarter To Times

STEP 1

Tell children the minute hand points to the 9, for (9×5 = 45) 45 minutes past the hour.

  • Show children the clock images below in order and have them recite the times (e.g. Quarter to Two, One forty-five etc.).

STEP 2

  • Point to the clock images in a random order and have children determine and speak aloud the times.

STEP 3

  • Have children draw clocks showing each of these times.

Math: Review – Subtract 3 values, Counting Down by 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, and 6s

STEP 1

  • Have children use physical objects to demonstrate and solve these exercises, such as an abacus, toys, or beans.

STEP 2

  • Have children write out each problem and solution in equation form. For example, children write ’20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0′ for ‘Begin with 20, and subtract by 2’s to 0.’

STEP 3

  • Assess mastery by reading aloud the listed problems and having the children mentally compute and recite the solutions.
  • If children have difficulties, work with physical objects again and then reassess.

Empower Your Child with Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic

Remember it was not that very long ago that schools taught the 3 Rs. The taught reading, writing, and arithmetic.  Now think 🤔 about what a child can do with the 3 Rs.

Reading

  • Once a child can read it opens up a world of possibilities for that child.
    • They can learn:
      • How to do almost anything with a How to book.
        • crafts
        • cooking
        • basic repair of
          • cars
          • bikes
          • homes
        • etc. the sky is the limit
      • History: it is mostly reading.
      • Science: in the lower grades there is more reading than anything else. Even for the upper grades there is a lot of reading. Think about Science Magazine, Scientific Reports, and Science Textbooks.

Writing

  • Once a child can write it allows them to:
    • organize information
    • take notes
    • share information
      • reports
        • book reports
        • science reports
        • history reports
    • explore new avenues of creativity by writing
      • stories
      • songs
      • poems

Arithmetic

  • Once a child understands adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the child is now ready for using those same operations with higher level math.
  • Once a child can read charts and graphs, they are able to better organize information to better understand it.
  • Once a child learns how to count money, the child is better able to mange money.
  • Once a child learns to tell time, the child is better able to manage time.

So do your child a favor. Teach them how to think by teaching them the 3 Rs. Then guide them through the rest of the adventure of learning ✨️ by showing them the way. Don’t teach them what to think by simply giving them all the answers. Instead teach them how to obtain the answers.

Here is Blooms Taxonomy. Let it be your guide to asking better questions to aid you in your role as the guide in your child’s educational journey.

Math: Other Times

STEP 1

Teach children how to calculate other times. For example, two marks past the 9 is (9×5+2 = 47) 47 minutes past the hour.

  • Show children the clock images below in order and have them recite the times (e.g. Twenty minutes after six or six twenty etc.).

STEP 2

  • Point to the clock images in a random order and have children determine and speak aloud the times.

STEP 3

  • Have children draw clocks showing random times – 3:47, 2:02, 8:03, etc.
  • Continue to work on this until children can draw any time on the clock.

Math: Half Hour Times

STEP 1

Tell children the minute hand points to the 6, for (6×5 = 30) 30 minutes past the hour.

  • Show children the clock images below in order and have them recite the times (e.g. Half-past One, One thirty etc.).

STEP 2

  • Point to the clock images in a random order and have children determine and speak aloud the times.

STEP 3

  • Have children draw clocks showing each of these times.
