Lesson details
Key learning points
- Known facts can be used to help find new facts efficiently.
- Known facts can be used to solve addition and subtraction problems.
- Bar models can be drawn to help represent and understand problems.
Keywords
Efficiently - Not wasting time or effort. An efficient strategy is one we can carry out easily.
Whole - All of something. Complete.
Part - A piece or section of a whole.
Common misconception
Children may have difficulty knowing which operation is required to solve a problem, particularly in those involving finding the difference.
Encourage children to draw bar models or part-part-whole models to support their understanding of the structure of the problem and to articulate their thinking (as modelled in the lesson).
Exploration of the same context, but with a different part missing each time, can support understanding of the structure of the problem. Understanding can be deepened by giving one problem and asking children to use the same context and numbers to make a new problem.

Q1.
Which number would complete the equation that comes next in the pattern?
Q2.
Use the first part-part-whole model to complete the pattern.
33 then 43
43 then 63
48 then 58
Q3.
Use a known fact to find the missing number. 34 + = 39
Q4.
Match the correct single digit fact to the equation that it could help solve.
35 - 2 = 33
97 - 4 = 93
33 - 2 = 31
Q5.
Sam writes an addition that she can solve using the known fact 5 + 4 = 9 The first addend and the sum both have 6 tens. What could her fact be?
65 + 5 = 70
64 + 4 = 68
63 + 4 = 67

Q3.
Choose the known fact that would help solve this problem. There were 54 cars in the car park. 3 were red. How many weren’t red?
4 - 1 = 3
1 + 3 = 4
Q4.
