Subtraction: Booklet 2 - Student Workbook
Subtraction: Booklet 2 – Student Workbook from Pattern Press is a math curriculum workbook designed to help students develop a deep understanding of subtraction through discovery learning, pattern recognition, and visual mathematical thinking.
This 48-page stapled workbook introduces Beginning Circle Subtraction, a unique approach developed by Prof. Emeritus Michael Butler at the renowned UCI Farm Elementary School. Instead of memorizing subtraction procedures, students learn to break apart problems into smaller, manageable pieces using the Circle Math method. This process helps children understand why subtraction works, not just how to complete the steps.
The Patterns in Arithmetic series teaches through an inductive, concept-based approach where students actively explore patterns, relationships, and number structures. Through games, story problems, practice pages, and guided exploration, learners begin building confidence and flexibility in subtraction thinking.
The Student Workbook includes worksheets and practice pages designed to reinforce understanding through active participation and visual learning. The Answer Key is included in the Parent/Teacher Guide.
