Making Tens Subtraction - using i pad app

This week we have been learning how to subtract, take away or minus numbers using our making tens first strategy. Here is our strategy card we used to help us.

We also used the "number frames" app to help us explain and show our thinking.  We could see our tens frames so we could work out how many to take away.  Also using equipment like tens frames helps us understand what we are doing when we take something away. 

Here are photos of our achievements!!
