Partition the numbers 6 and 7 in different ways
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can partition the numbers 6 and 7 in different ways.
Key learning points
- There is more than one way to partition a number.
- When a number is partitioned into two parts the parts can be odd or even.
Keywords
Partition - To split a whole up into parts.
Whole - All of something. Complete.
Part - A piece or section of a whole.
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 six. Look for patterns and support children in spotting these.
Teacher tip
Children may try finding all possible combinations through trial and improvement. Encourage more systematic thinking, leading children to find all possible combinations quicker and check that none have been missed. Continue to check with concrete objects.
