The document provides details about the development team who created a kindergarten mathematics module focused on subtraction. It includes the names of the writers, editors, reviewers, and other roles. It also outlines the learning objectives of recognizing words like "take away", "less", and "are left" when indicating subtraction of whole numbers. The module is intended to be used over five days and includes introductory messages, lessons, activities, games and assessments to help students master the concepts of subtraction.

Recognize the words “take away,” “Less,” and
“are left” that indicate the act of subtracting whole numbers.

4. Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
(This gives an instruction to the facilitator to orient the learners and support the parents, elder sibling etc.
of the learners on how to use the module. Furthermore, this also instructs the facilitator to remind the
learners to use separate sheets in answering the pre-test, self-check exercises, and post-test.)
For the learner:
(This communicates directly to the learners and hence, must be interactive. This contains instructions on
how to use the module. The structure and the procedure of working through the module are explained here.
This also gives an overview of the content of the module. If standard symbols are used to represent some
parts of the module such as the objectives, input, practice task and the like they are defined and explained
in this portion.)

5. What I Need to Know
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the nature of
Mathematics. The scope of this module allows it to be used in a variety of learning situations. The language
used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standards
and guidelines stated in the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) for Kindergarten.
The module is intended to be discussed within five days.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
Recognize the words “take away,” “ less” and “are “left” that indicate the act of subtracting whole
numbers.

6. Fluency Practice
 Show Me 1 Less
 Finish My Sentence (1 Less)
 Happy Counting Within 10
Show Me 1 Less
Materials: Bag of red and white beans or any counters, left hand
T: Show me 3 beans (any counters ).
S: (Place a red bean on the left pinky, left ring finger, and the left middle finger to show 3 beans.)
T: Now, show me 1 less.
S: (Remove a red bean from the left middle finger, leaving 2 beans.)
T: How many beans are on your mat now?
S: 2. Stay within a predictable pattern until students are comfortable with this exercise, and then skip around.
Carefully observe to see which students must recount all of the beans to tell the number that is 1 less.
Finish My Sentence (1 Less)
T: Raise your hand when you can finish this sentence. 3. One less is… (wait for all hands to go up, and then signal).
S: 2.
T: 2. One less is… (wait for all hands to go up, and then signal).
S: 1. If students exhibit mastery, skip around after establishing a predictable pattern.

What I Know

7. Activity 1
I. Using counters, subtract the given numbers above, write the correct answer below.
4 less 2 6less 3 5 less 1

8. Activity 2
How Many Are Left
Count how many pictures are in each box. Trace each X to cross out the correct number of pictures.
Count how many are left and write the number down.

9. Happy Counting within 10 (4 minutes) Conduct the activity as outlined in Lesson 66.
At this point, students are likely ready for a challenge and want to show how quickly
they can do this exercise. Try alternating between a rapid pace and a very slow pace
to keep students focused. Never allow them to rush the choral response.
Ensure that they are always responding to the teacher’s signals.

Take away… Less ….. are left….
 In Mathematics, to subtract means to take away from a group or a number of things.
 When we subtract, the number of things in the group reduce or become less.
 We subtract to find how many are left.
 To subtract means to “take away” from a set of objects.
