$A g^{+} \to A g^{0} ⏐ ↓$ $Ag^+ rarr Ag^0darr$

Explanation:

Silver ion undergoes a change in oxidation state from $+ I$ $+I$ to $0$ $0$ . Since silver has undergo a DOWNWARD change in oxidation state, it has been formally reduced.

On the other hand, elemental sodium has gone from $N a^{0}$ $Na^0$ to $N a^{+}$ $Na^+$ ; that is, it has been OXIDIZED.
