Subtract Multi-Digit Numbers (with Decomposing)
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This number and operations in base ten lesson teaches students how to subtract multi-digit numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will extend their knowledge of multi-digit subtraction by adding numbers up to the hundred thousands. Students will apply the standard addition algorithm with a focus on correctly lining up the numbers by place value and decomposing digits correctly.

Use Pictures to Subtract Fractions
- Grade:
- 4
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on using pictures to subtract fractions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students represent the difference of the fractions by shading the number of equal parts.
