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
