Why this why now

This unit introduces the symbolic representation of addition and subtraction. Learning builds on the understanding of the part-part-whole structure and the composition of the numbers to 10, introducing the use of equations to represent known relationships before moving on, in later units, to solving problems involving addition.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Understand part-part-whole relationships
  • Represent problems using bar models and equations
  • Use different strategies for solving addition problems

Additive structures: addition

In this unit pupils will combine 2 or more parts to make a whole. They will learn addends can be represented in any order and that the = sign shows the whole and sum of the parts are equal.
