This document provides lesson instructions for teaching students how to subtract numbers using different methods. It discusses counting backwards on a number line, taking counters away, using arrays and ten squares, and finding one less than a given number. Examples are provided such as 20 - 6 = 14 by counting backwards 6 jumps on a number line, and explaining that 1 less than 4 is 3 because 4 - 1 = 3. Students are asked to practice additional subtraction problems by counting backwards on a whiteboard or number line.
