Lesson details
Key learning points
- When tens and ones are combined to make a two-digit number, this can be represented it as an addition equation.
- When a two-digit number is partitioned into tens and ones, this can be represented as a subtraction equation.
Keywords
Partition - To split a whole up into parts.
Combine - To put parts together to make a whole.
Part - A piece or section of a whole.
Whole - All of something; complete.
Common misconception
Children may fail to appreciate the importance of the equals sign in an equation, e.g. making errors such as 16 = 4 + 20, or confuse the value of the digits, making errors such as 43 = 4 + 30
Use the language of parts and whole to activate/link to prior learning. Encourage drawing of own part-part-whole models. Encourage children to spot errors and explain why they are are incorrect and to articulate their thinking around correct answers.
