A ready-to-teach Year 6 maths bundle containing two lessons focused on using inverse operations to solve missing number and multi-step problems.

This Year 6 maths bundle contains two lessons designed to develop pupils’ understanding and use of inverse operations.

Pupils work backwards through calculations to find unknown starting numbers, including problems involving multiple operations. The lessons progress towards more challenging problems requiring pupils to carefully reverse a sequence of operations.

The second lesson also includes a small element of introductory algebra, while maintaining inverse operations as the main focus.

The lessons encourage pupils to reason systematically and check their answers by applying the original operations.
