In a comprehensive set of teaching resources aimed at Year 5 students, the subject of inverse operations in addition and subtraction is thoroughly explored. The materials introduce the concept by examining the interrelated nature of these two fundamental mathematical operations. The resources guide students through the understanding that addition and subtraction are inverse processes, meaning that they can undo each other. This is illustrated using bar models, fact families, and practical examples to show how the commutative property of addition allows the addends to be switched while maintaining the same sum. Additionally, the lessons demonstrate how a subtraction sum can be checked by performing the inverse addition operation, and vice versa, reinforcing the connection between the two operations.

The resources further delve into the application of inverse operations to solve problems and verify answers. Students are encouraged to think critically by completing fact families, finding missing numbers using the part-whole model, and engaging in problem-solving scenarios that require the use of inverse operations. For instance, when given a subtraction problem, students are shown how to find the corresponding addition sum to check their work. The teaching materials provide various exercises, including worksheets, to practice these concepts. These exercises challenge students to complete fact families, use inverse operations to check calculations, and solve problems by identifying the inverse operation required to find a missing number or to confirm the accuracy of a result.

This teaching resource is designed to help Year 5 students learn about inverse operations. It uses a combination of supporting PowerPoint slides, differentiated worksheets, and problem-solving activities to provide a firm grounding in inverse operations and help students develop multiplicative reasoning. The slides explain to students how to solve missing number problems, recognise division calculations and solve division problems, as well as introducing key algebra terms. Students can use the non-statutory guidance section to check calculations, and they can answer the division questions to see if they can mentally calculate the inverse operations. The worksheets and slides provide examples of multiplication and corresponding division facts to help the students understand the concept, and there are word problems to challenge more advanced learners.Using this lesson will make lesson planning easier for teachers as it covers the curriculum objectives for Year 5 Maths - Number - addition and subtraction - as outlined in the White Rose small steps guidance for Year 5. It is easy to follow and provides a range of activities and questions to introduce the topic of inverse operations and support children to develop a really firm grounding in the same process and understand the inverse relationship between addition and division. There are differentiated resource sheets, allowing all children to explore the same topic, while the PowerPoint slides introduce scale drawings and use of the number line. The word problems help students to move on to solving more advanced learning tasks, further developing their multiplicative reasoning.
