Learning Objective

Students will subtract within 20 using strategies such as counting back, making ten, and using known facts.

Teacher Tip

Before starting, read the story intro aloud together. Ask students to act out Maya 'dropping' or 'using up' items from her travel bag — this diegetic movement helps anchor subtraction as a real action, not an abstract operation. Reference Q6 specifically: ask students how Maya felt finding only 7 rare finds left after losing 8.
