find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations
- using brackets and the order of operations to write number sentences and appreciating the need for an agreed set of rules to complete multiple operations within the same number sentence; for example, for 40 ÷ 2 × (4 + 6) = □, you solve what is in the brackets first then complete the number sentence from left to right as there is no hierarchy between division and multiplication
- constructing equivalent number sentences involving brackets and combinations of the 4 operations, and explaining the need to have shared agreement on the order of operations when solving problems involving more than one operation to have unique solutions
- finding pairs of unknown values in numerical equations that make the equation hold true; for example, listing possible combinations of natural numbers that make this statement true: 6 + 4 × 8 = 6 × Δ + □
