Key learning points
- Partitioning can be represented on a part-part-whole diagram.

Systematic - Having an order to the way we work, identifying and using patterns.
Partition - To split a whole up into parts.
Part-part-whole model - A pictorial representation of a whole and its parts.
Common misconception
When using patterns to identify combinations, pupils may struggle to be systematic and not identify all options systematically.
Spend time exploring the value of recording combinations within a simple table. Encourage checking, e.g. the amount of counters totals eight. Look for patterns and support children in spotting these.
