Key learning points
- Drawing a model for a simpler problem helps us to solve more complicated problems.
- Known facts can be used to calculate the value of a missing part.
- Mental strategies can be used to calculate the value of a missing part.
Common misconception
Pupils struggle to represent the problem as a repeated subtraction equation.
Simplify problems by using numbers within 10 at first to reveal the structure of the problem. By doing this, you can show how both the subtraction and addition equations relate, which can help you to find the value of the missing parts or whole.
