Key learning points
- A representation helps to make sense of an equation or problem.
- A bar model can be used to represent an equation.
- A part-whole model can be used to represent an equation.
Common misconception
Pupils struggle to draw a bar model to represent an equation without a context.
Refer back to the language of parts and wholes to help pupils identify which numbers in the equation represent the parts and which number represent the whole. You may like to reduce the numbers to number within 10 to emphasise the structure at first.
