Understanding partitioning

Careful partitioning in action

We use lots of different special words in maths and 'partitioning' is one we have been thinking about in the first part of the autumn term. It means 'splitting numbers into smaller factors or into place values'. 
In class we have been working on addition and subtraction problems using the place value grids with the practical equipment. This has helped us to split numbers up carefully along with developing our understanding of two and three digit numbers.

Sharing our resources is always a good idea

And the answer is, 10, 20, 30, 40, 43
