Could be done as a class on the white board if needed. Swap out the
buttons for magnets. Math Facts can be written already and the
students can make them with their buttons on the Pete the Cat poster.

B. Implementation
1.
Motivator
Learning how to appropriately perform subtraction like Pete the Cat
with his buttons. After they are done they can learn more about Pete,
get a Good Job sticker, and do any other activity that is appropriate
in the classroom environment as time permits.

Lesson Outline
Read the book, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons as a group.
Children can discuss how he lost his buttons, how many he had to
begin with and how many he ended up with.
They will then reenact Pete losing his buttons with their Pete the Cat
posters and button. This will appeal to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic
learning.
The students will record the math facts they recreated on their papers.
Once students are done they can get a sticker to celebrate their hard
work and choose another activity they would like to do.
3.
Closure
The teacher will check the students math facts (four to five math
facts) for accuracy and completion. The teacher can also recreate math
facts that students had trouble with on the board or one on one with
the student.
