You need to use the expressions "unit" and "part", and not "a" and "b".

They are not so likely to absorb your equations using a and b since English phrases like unit and part are easier for them to grasp than algebraic expressions like a and b.

They are Primary 6 students who only learn the most basic of algebra in Primary 6.

Your removal of fractions, two lines after "Sub 1 into 2", may be hard for them to visualise or understand at their level.
