The symbol for infinity might be more advanced symbolism than you would plan to explore with primary children, but, when a group of children were involved in creating their own algebra equations for known stories, a Year 5 boy asked if there was a symbol to represent forever. The teacher and children together searched on the Internet and then realised that the infinity symbol was perfect. It soon appeared in many of the pupils’ story formulas. Both children and adults alike engage with this way of recording either an aspect or the whole of a story using symbols. As a fun device, after reading a short story or a chapter from a book, one class we worked with created algebra equations that contained the main aspects of the plot.
