In this lesson, we will be extending the 'same sum' rule to balance equations. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will be balancing equations using the compensation property of addition and subtraction. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will be balancing equations and noticing that the order of the addends is not important. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will notice that, if an addend is increased and the other is kept the same, the sum increases by the same amount. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will notice that, if one addend is decreased and the other is kept the same, the sum decreases by the same amount Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson will be solving calculations mentally by relating them to known facts. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will be finding an unknown addend when the sum is changed. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn about the 'same difference' strategy. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn about contexts which focus on where the difference is kept the same. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will use the some of the language of subtraction used in previous lessons- minuend, subtrahend and difference. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will transform subtraction calculations by using the "same difference" method. This method involves shifting numbers whilst preserving the answer, but making the calculation easier. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will practise transforming calculations to make them easier to solve mentally Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will transform a subtraction calculation between two five digit numbers to make the written algorithm easier to apply. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In tthis lesson, we will practise the 'same difference' in different contexts. We will learn that transforming written calculations makes it easier to solve them using a written method. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn to balance equations to find unknown values. We will learn how the image of a see-saw helps us think about equivalent calculations, if they are level, they are equal (equivalent) to each other.

In this lesson, we will explore how the difference changes when only the minuend is changed. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will apply the generalisation about how the minuend and difference change to solve problems. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will explore how the generalisation can be used efficiently as a mental calculation strategy using known facts. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn to think flexibly, looking for the most efficient strategies we can find for subtraction. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In today's lesson, we will learn to compare strategies around subtraction. We will discuss how efficient some strategies are, such as shifting to preserve the 'same difference' and make calculations easier. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn that the more we subtract, the less we are left with. The less we subtract, the more we are left with. This will be shown through the context of reduction. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will apply what was learnt in the previous lesson to contexts where the minuend is kept the same, and the subtrahend increases. Different methods demonstrated will include number lines, bar models and jottings. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will learn about contexts where the minuend is kept the same, and the subtrahend decreases. Different methods demonstrated within the lesson will include number lines, bar models and jottings. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will further practice to reason about how the change in the subtrahend changes the difference demonstrated through sequences. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will explore problems in which the new difference must be found. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will balance equations where the compensation property of same sum cannot efficiently be applied. Resources provided by NCETM (CC BY-NC-SA: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0)
In this lesson, we will look at similar activities from last lesson but with subtraction in mind, specifically the following symbols: = (equals), ≈ (approximately equal to) , > (greater than), < (less than).
