I teach "no such thing as subtraction or division". It's particularly useful (I find) when teaching polynomial division, to use an inverse product grid.

In an old Mithaka language of south-west Queensland this is Bulkawilidjie, meaning order of operations, protocol, or place value. The idea was actively implemented in First Nations societies long before colonisation. To this day, Indigenous school students have no problems with the concept in maths.
