Add parts to find the value of the whole and write the equation

Maths

In this unit pupils will combine 2 or more parts to make a whole. They will learn addends are represented in any order and the = sign shows the whole and sum of the parts are equal. In the future unit pupils will find missing addends. They will partition a whole into 2 parts representing first, then, now stories with subtraction equations. They will learn + and - are inverse operations.

In prior learning, pupils will have learnt to count confidently and have developed a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers. In this unit pupils will combine two parts to make a whole, learn that addends are represented in any order and learn that the equals sign shows that the whole and the sum of the parts are equal.

Additive structures: addition

Write an equation to represent the part-part-whole model and solve it. Do not use spaces.

There are 3 pebbles in one box and no pebbles in the other box. Which equation would I write to find out how many pebbles there are altogether? Do not use spaces.

Which equation can be used to represent this picture?

Izzy has 3 counters and Jun has 5 counters. They combined the parts to find out how many altogether. Which equation could represent this?

Which equation represents this part-part-whole model?

I have 8 pencils altogether. 6 are red and 2 are yellow. Which equations would represent this?

There are 3 bananas and 4 apples. There are 7 pieces of fruit altogether

There are 4 pieces of fruit altogether. 3 of those pieces are apples.

Which story could these counters represent?

Jun has written three equations to match this picture. Which other equation could he write? Do not use a space.
