Storytime Subtraction - The Hungry Monster
This interactive mini storybook introduces division as repeated subtraction through the tale of a hungry monster eating 3 apples a day. Accompanied by a worksheet, it provides a hands-on approach to deepen students' understanding of division concepts in an enjoyable and accessible way.
Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays.
- We are learning to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups to solve simple problems.
- We are learning to recognise and represent multiplication as repeated addition, groups and arrays and to divide a set of objects into equal sized groups.
