Picture Numbers - Subtraction Intro

Unit 1

This math unit introduces and develops foundational arithmetic skills through visual representations, focusing on addition and subtraction using vivid imagery of shapes like squares and circles. Starting with basic counting and numeral identification, students learn to associate quantities with both numeric and word descriptions by counting shapes in pictures. As they progress, they begin to tackle addition, learning how to form basic addition equations from images and connecting these skills in both numerical and word formats. Subtraction is similarly introduced, with students practicing by identifying how many items remain after some are removed, advancing from simple subtraction using pictures to constructing subtraction equations. The unit comprehensively covers numeracy skills, moving from simple counting to forming and solving arithmetic equations, emphasizing visual learning to engrain comprehension of these fundamental math concepts.Skills you will learn include:

  • Numbers as abstract concepts
  • Counting shapes
  • Numbers as words
  • Words as numbers
  • Counting to 10
  • Removing from a group
  • Basic subtraction
