Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Equations can be represented using part-part-whole or bar models.
  2. The sum is the whole and the addends are parts.
  3. Equations can be written starting with the addends or with the sum.

Keywords

  • Addend - An addend is a number added to another.

  • Sum - The the total when numbers are added together.

  • Equation - An equation shows that one number or calculation is equal to another.

Common misconception

Pupils may struggle starting equations with the sum. They may think = means 'the answer is..'

Ensure that children understand that 'equals' means that the equation balances (i.e. both sides have the same value.) This could be achieved through using balance scales and attaching the idea of equals with balance.

Encourage pupils to use the terms 'sum' and 'whole' interchangeably. They should understand that an addend is a part. For extra challenge, pupils can find more than one answer to the open-ended problems in Task B, where they are only given the sum.
