Number and Algebra: Equations and expressions, Level 1

AO1: Communicate and explain counting, grouping, and equal-sharing strategies, using words, numbers, and pictures.
This means students will explain the number strategies they use to others using a combination of words, numbers and pictures. This implies that students will learn to write equations to express their findings, for example 5 + 9 = 14, to express their ideas using their own language in conjunction with mathematical language, e.g. add, subtract, times, fraction, and to develop diagrams to represent their strategies, for example set diagrams or number lines.
