Lesson details
Key learning points
- The parts and the whole can be rearranged to help us solve equations.
- A bar model or a part-part-whole model can be used to help understand missing number equations.
- Addition can be used to check subtraction equations.
- Addition can be used to solve missing number subtraction equations.
Keywords
Part - A piece or section of a whole.
Whole - All of something; complete.
Common misconception
When presented with missing number equations with larger numbers, children may not automatically make the link to the part-part-whole structure.
Use visual representations to consolidate understanding and to encourage children to manipulate the numbers or equations involved so they can utilise what they already know.
This lesson involves building upon prior knowledge to deepen understanding of the structure of subtraction equations. Children are encouraged to manipulate individual numbers in equations in order to encourage confidence and mentally flexibility.
