- Which of the following images shows an equation?
Scale A ✓
Scale B
Scale C
Which of the following equations describes the balance scales shown?- 100 g + 200 g = 500 g
- 600 g + 100 g = 500 g
- 100 g + 400 g = 500 g ✓
- 500 g = 200 g + 300 g
-
Which of these equations shows the redistribution in the image?- (450 g − 50 g) + (50 g + 50 g) = 500 g ✓
- (450 g + 50 g) + (50 g − 50 g) = 500 g
- (4.5 kg + 0.5 kg) + (0.5 kg − 0.5 kg) = 5 kg
- (4.5 kg − 0.5 kg) + (0.5 kg + 0.5 kg) = 5 kg
-
Which of these equations shows the redistribution in the image?- (5 kg − 1 kg) + (5 kg + 1 kg) = 10 kg
- (5 kg + 1 kg) + (5 kg − 1 kg) = 10 kg ✓
- (5 kg + 1 kg) + (5 kg + 1 kg) = 10 kg
- (5 kg − 1 kg) + (5 kg − 1 kg) = 10 kg

Lesson Details
Key learning points
- If one part is increased and the other is decreased by the same amount, the whole stays the same.
- If one part is decreased and the other is increased by the same amount, the whole stays the same.
- Redistributing between parts with the whole staying the same is sometimes known as the 'same sum' rule.
Common misconception
The brackets are intended to make it easier for pupils to distinguish between different parts of the expression. Brackets are unfamiliar to learners so may cause errors.
If the brackets lead to confusion then remove them and use colour or some other signifier. Pupils needs to be able to see, understand and analyse any changes through redistribution.
