Key learning points
- The model can represent a scaling structure with one part being __ times the size of the other.
- The model can represent an additive structure.
Common misconception
Pupils think that the removal of the multiplication symbol can result in the number becoming a two-digit number rather than two, single digits being multiplied together.
Using the language of 'lots of' may support pupils to see that an algebraic equation with coefficients represents multiplication. For example: 40 can be read as 'four lots of 0'.
Keywords
