Happy Monday ya'll!!!
Today we did a super fun subtraction activity to practice story problems and celebrate the gingerbread man! Ya'll, we had a blast with this. They turned out so cute. It's such a fun, engaging way to write story problems and practice taking away. I mean, what more could want from a lesson?!

Today we did a super fun subtraction activity to practice story problems and celebrate the gingerbread man! Ya'll, we had a blast with this. They turned out so cute. It's such a fun, engaging way to write story problems and practice taking away. I mean, what more could want from a lesson?!
Step 1: make a cookie sheet. You can't gingerbread cookies without a cookie sheet!
I give each 'stache a piece of aluminum foil and we glue it on construction paper. Easy peasy.
Step 2: You gotta "bake" your cookies.
Each 'stahche got to pic 1-5 cookies from our "oven".
Ummm these adorable ninjabread men came from my amazing TBFF (teacher best friend forever) at The Hartmann Sparkle. She is such a talented teacher and she draws awesome clipart! Be sure to check her out!!
Step 3: Cut out your ninjabread and glue them on the cookie sheet!
Then you have to write your story. You have to decide how many cookies you have, which friend will eat your cookies.
Then you have to "eat" your cookies by marking an X through the cookies.
BAM! Gingerbread subtraction story problems!
Here is a freebie for ya! Click to download your copy of the story problem page!
And check out the ninjabread clipart from my TBFF!
It's almost time! Come see us at our booth at the Georgia Kindergarten Conference December 11 and 12!
