Why this why now
This unit allows pupils to become more familiar with using equivalence, relating to addition and subtraction, to solve problems in a range of contexts. This will support them as they move on into solving problems with two unknowns and into more formal algebra in Year 7.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Understand inverse relationship between addition and subtraction
- Rearrange number sentences to find missing values
- Recognise when to apply compensation or balancing strategies
