Formal Evaluation
The worksheets that the students complete will be a
good indicator of what they understand.
Informal Evaluation
This will be an ongoing assessment with question and
answers on their subtraction facts. I will be constantly
observing each child to see whether they understand
the concept.
The students will be informally evaluated when they
play the subtraction poster game.
The students in Mrs. Ukasiks class will be able to
individually demonstrate their understanding of
subtraction by filling out their subtraction stories on
page 317 in their workbooks, drawing the correct
number of cubes, 10 questions out of 10.

Introduction
Activating Prior Knowledge
I want you to get your thinking caps on. (pretend to put

direction on the slider. The numbers decrease. This is
known as subtraction.
