Lesson Plan - Pete The Cat

The lesson plan is for a kindergarten math lesson on subtraction. The students will learn about subtraction by reading the story "Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons" and doing activities with buttons. They will practice subtracting numbers 1-4 using manipulatives. The teacher will assess the students' understanding through questioning them during the story and having them complete subtraction problems in small groups after doing a center activity. The goal is for students to understand that subtraction means taking away amounts from a whole using objects.
