Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can interpret and represent subtraction stories that involve decreasing an amount using the ‘First, then, now’ structure.

Show transcript
In a ‘First, then, now’ subtraction story, the number at the start of the story is decreased by subtracting a part. When using subtraction to decrease an amount, the number that is decreased must always be represented first. This can be represented with practical equipment and as a bar model or a number line. We can write an equation to match these representations.
