The javascript `==` operator _should_ return true when comparing the number 1 to the string '1' -- but perhaps the `ng-if` **expression** evaluator does something slightly different... did you try removing the single quotes from the `ng-if` test? If so, did that make a difference? The other thing to try is to wrap the expression in curly braces (sorry, but i can't remember the syntax.. i always have to look it up).

For more information about what makes a valid angular "expression" and where you can use them, check out the [Angular v1 docs](https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/expression) site.
