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.

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.

Keywords

Part - A piece or section of a whole.
Whole - All of something; complete.
