Partition is to split a whole up into parts.

Combine means to put parts together to make a whole.

A bar model is a pictorial representation of a problem where bars are used to represent the whole and the parts.

Solve problems using a bar model to represent a whole partitioned into two parts

Maths

Explain that numbers can represent how many objects there are in a set

Ordinal numbers show the position of an object in relation to another

Partition numbers one to five in different ways

Partition the numbers one to five in a systematic way

Find a missing part when one part and the whole is known

Solve problems finding a missing part when one part and the whole is known

Show one more and one less than a number using representations

Show one more and one less than a number using representations and describe this accurately

Use a bar model to represent a whole partitioned into two parts

In this unit pupils will revisit how numbers are represented cardinally and ordinally. They will partition 1 - 5 in different ways and find a missing part. In the future unit pupils will represent numbers 6 - 10 by partitioning in different ways. They will learn what odd and even numbers are and how they can be partitioned. They will identify a missing part when a whole is partitioned into 2 parts

In prior learning, pupils will have explored the composition of numbers to 10 and be able to subitise up to 5. In this unit pupils will partition 1 to 5 in different ways and find a missing part.

In this unit pupils will revisit how numbers are represented cardinally and ordinally. They will partition 1 - 5 in different ways, find a missing part when one part and the whole are known and explore one more and one less with numbers to five.
