  • Number: Addition and Subtraction

In this unit pupils build on their understanding of additive structures by exploring equivalence in addition equations. They will learn how redistribution can be used to support calculation with whole numbers and decimals. Pupils will calculate missing parts in balanced equations, applying known facts and strategies in a range of contexts. They will then go on to explore equivalence and compensation in subtraction.

  1. Using redistribution with addition of integers
  2. Using redistribution with addition of decimal fractions
  3. Using balanced equations to calculate redistribution
  4. Use a balanced equation to calculate unknown parts
  5. Explain how adjusting one part affects the sum
  6. Solve addition calculations mentally by using known facts
  7. Solve addition calculations mentally by using known facts in a range of contexts
  8. Solve calculations with missing parts
  9. Use equivalence and compensation strategies to solve problems
  10. Use equivalence and compensation strategies to solve addition problems in a range of contexts
