The child's thinking...
ReplyDeleteTeach the child till he/she could learn the rules of mathematic
DeleteChild thinking logically.
DeleteA child need to understand first the numbers system then as teacher in the class help them to get clear and understand better.
DeleteCan help by thinking logically
ReplyDeleteThe child thinks logically. Teach the child the number system and do subtraction with the of figures
DeleteIt is harder for a child to understand or calculate if written in numbers but a child can answer correctly by drawing figures .
ReplyDeleteIf we write down with figure ,for example,1,2........to 17 aand cross out 1 to 9 and let the child count those figure which are not cross,the child will understand
DeleteA child need to know first the numbers system then can help a child to know more about the meaning of less and more in term of numerical system
ReplyDeleteWe can help the child by teaching the number system and the placement of digit in correct order.

ReplyDeleteIt tells that child understood negatively and don't understand how to borrow to 7 to make subtraction 9. In such a case we as a teacher should teach them clearly the rules of subtraction first.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the child the number system and the placement of digit in correct order.
DeleteIt tells that the child reasoning is not good. To help the child understands better we can make them understands and develop in them the early math skills. One big idea that children need to develop is that subtraction and addition are related. It is important for the teacher to investigate the child number concepts.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the child the number system and the placement of digit in correct order.This can develop a great improvement in the child skills in substraction as well as addition.
ReplyDeleteThis would indicate that the child needs to be guided in correctly identifying numbers and particularly identifying the digits in correct order.

ReplyDeleteIt shows that the child does not understand the concept of subtraction yet. In order to make the child understands this, proper teaching of this should be given along with patience to the child in a way that he or she understands till he or she learns this concept.
The child couldn't understand and have a difficulty thinking.We can help the learner by teaching numeracy skills and playway Method.
ReplyDeleteHere it shows that the child does not understand the concept of subtraction yet. In order to make the child understands the proper teaching we should not overwhelm the child with all of the subtraction facts at once. Instead, first break the facts into smaller groups.
ReplyDeleteIt tells that the child has not yet develop number sense, so in order to help the child to understand the concept of subtraction better, we should first make sure that the child has fully mastered the addition and that they need to see the connection between the two, that subtraction is the opposite of addition, which means take away or finding a difference.
ReplyDeleteAsk children to bring seventeen small stone then ask them to count it and takeout nine stone and counting the rest stone. That is substraction
ReplyDeleteThe child has problem of understanding in comparison of numbers like bigger than/smaller than in one digit and two digit numbers.
ReplyDeleteFor better understanding the concept of subtraction we should use different types of activity which is related to our day-to-day life.
First thing first, the child has least knowledge about subtraction or the borrow Sum. So, in order to make the child understand about the sum of subtraction we must make him understand practically by handing him 12 marbles and take away 9 marbles back from him. And ask him about how much marbles are still left with him. In this way it will much easier for teaching a child.
ReplyDeleteTeach them the number system and the meaning of more and less in term of numeracy.
ReplyDeleteCan help them for thinking as the child.
ReplyDeleteTeaching the child the number system and the placement of digit in correct order.
ReplyDeleteHelp them to think logically about the numeracy
ReplyDeleteThe answer written by the child is incorrect,this shows that the child lacks the concept of subtraction.
ReplyDeleteIn order to help the learner better understand the concept of subtraction is to make the learner imagine subtraction as something taken away or a loss or decrease of quantity. This can be done by giving sufficient examples with a very small subtrahend, such that the learner can use the counting experience to give the answer and more time is spent in understanding the problem scenarios.
It tell that a child haven't yet understand the substraction process. In order to help the child teacher can teach different techniques to make the child understand easily.
ReplyDeleteThe children understand better when the teacher taught about the number system and the meaning of more or less in terms of numeracy.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that the child lacks the concept of subtraction.so the first thing to do is to help the child to understand clearly the concept of subtraction
ReplyDeleteThis indicates that the child haven't got the clear idea of the concept of substraction. So as a teacher I should teach the child how to do it by using matchsticks and moreover make the child clear about the method of borrowing methods of substraction and give more time in practising related problems.
ReplyDeleteThe child couldn't understand and have a difficulty thinking,we can help the learner by teaching numeracy skills and playway method.
ReplyDeleteMany time the child cannot do correctly they confuse the substraction. So in order to make them understand and remember we will find something that will make them very easy, making cut out and counting the one that are not cutting down.
ReplyDeleteWe can make them understand by giving them some practical activity.
ReplyDeleteTeaching him till he get the foundation about mathematics
ReplyDeleteThe child didn,t know anything about subtraction sum .
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher we should teach first simple subtraction process with the jelp of figures or any playing things like marbles and follow with burrowing rules of subtraction.
Teach them the number system and teach them to know the place value then the rules of substantion
ReplyDeleteWhen a child gives a wrong answer it is clear that he/she does not understand the concept of subtraction.
ReplyDeleteSo, we have to find out other ways to help the child for example by giving him/her 17 marbles that can be counted and tell the child that subtract is to take away. So 9 has to be taken away.
Let the child count how many marbles are with him/her?
Giving them marbles will help a child to pay attention to what he/she can see, touch and count and in this way a child will be able to understand the concept of subtraction better.
This indicates that the child haven't got the clear idea of the concept of subtraction . So as a teacher I should teach the child how to do it by using different activities.
ReplyDeleteWe should not overwhelm the child with all of the subtraction facts at once. Instead we should:
Step 1: Break it up. Don't overwhelm the child with all of the subtraction facts at once. ...
Step 2: Visualize and strategize. ...
Step 3: Practice those facts until they're mastered. ...
Step 4: Mix those facts with other facts.
When a child gives a wrong answer it is clear that the child does not understand the concept of subtraction and number system. Research has shown us that students who lack a strong understanding of what numbers represent and how they relate to other numbers and the world will suffer with even the basic arithmetic problems.With this in mind, the first few months of the school year should be dedicated to helping students from relationships with numbers. Counting everything and anything should be a daily activity. As a teacher this are some activities we can do with the students to help the learner better understand the concept of subtraction
ReplyDelete1. Develop number sense.
2. Teach addition first concretely.
3. Use games and fun activities.
4. Use lots of concrete practice with subtraction.
5. Use real life experience.
A child needs to understand the number system. This can develop the child skill in subtraction and numeracy skills. Different activities will also helps to teach a child in learning math skill.

First of all, let us say that the child is not careless about numbers at this point (19-7=12) but really has not fully understood the concept of subtraction or borrowing in subtraction. As teachers or facilitators, it is our duty to find ways and means to help the learner grasp and understand how to subtract or deduct one number from another.
ReplyDeleteA simple strategy to deal with subtraction problems is to apply the ‘take away’/ ‘left over’ concept by using the exact number of sticks or pencils (17) and ask the child to take away (subtract) the required number of objects (9) and count the left over which will give the correct answer (8). This will also help to helps to build a ‘number sense’ in the child.
This show that the child hasn't learn concept of subtraction i.e. putting the number according to place value and then take away the smaller number from the bigger number. In order to help understand the concept of subtraction we should make first understand the place value of numbers and then teach the child to take away the smaller number from the bigger number.
ReplyDeleteThe child lacks the concept of subtraction. Teach him/her the concept first by citing various examples
ReplyDeleteThe students to help the learner better understand the concept of substraction :
ReplyDelete1) Develop number sense.
2) Teach addition .
3) Use lots of concrete practice with subtraction.
ReplyDeletethe child does not understand the concept of subtraction yet. In order to make the child understands the proper teaching we should not overwhelm the child with all of the subtraction facts at once. Instead, first break the facts into smaller groups.
If the child does not understand the concept of substraction, in order to make the learner better understanding take the student and stand in front and make them as numbers so that the student will understand better by doing this it will help them.
ReplyDeleteThe child's thinking about the concept of subtraction is not thorough and it is evident that he/she needs a proper foundation in the field of numbers.Illustrations can be used e.g:17 objects can be placed in front of the child and then 9 objects can be deducted leaving the child with the remaining objects where he/she can then count and determine the right answer.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that the child has not been able to understand the concept of subtraction. This is where individual attention is needed. We need to explain to the child individually eg, giving him or her 17 sweets then distributing the sweets to his/ her peers individually. Then we ask him/ her to take away 9 sweets from his/ her peers and ask him/ her to count the number of sweets left with the children. We can also explain it by the help of beads or blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe child think logically. Teach the child the number system and do subtraction with the of figures.
ReplyDeleteThe child is not careless about number at this point (19-7=12) but really has not fully understood the concept of subtraction or borrowing in subtraction.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that the child has not understood the concept of subtraction. To help him I will try to draw 17 figures and ask him to remove 9 figures from it.
ReplyDeleteThis show that the students didnot understand the concept of subtraction. First we should make him understand the place value of the numbers and then help him to solve the problem by making figures of 17 and ask him to take away 9 and then count the remaining answer.
ReplyDeleteIt shows that he does not have the number sense.The teacher can go back to simple subtraction sums first..
ReplyDeleteThe child first have to know the rule of mathematics of subtraction we can learn through activity Olso because with activity it will help to understand clearly for students subtraction mean take away.
ReplyDeleteThe child should think logically, . We need to explain to the child individually eg, giving him or her 17 sweets then distributing the sweets to his/ her peers individually. Then we ask him/ her to take away 9 sweets from his/ her peers and ask him/ her to count the number of sweets left with the children
ReplyDeleteThe child think logically.The child need to understand first the basic concept of subtraction for better understanding.
