Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Unknowns can be connected additively.
- Unknowns can be connected multiplicatively.
- Representations can show if unknowns are related additively or multiplicatively.
Common misconception
Pupils struggle to understand how to represent the number rods to show the difference when trying to find the missing rod.
Ensure pupils spend time representing each question with an equation then match this with the number rods. This may help them to visualise the missing part as well.
Keywords
