Keywords
Convert - When a value is changed from one form to another, it is converted.
Partition - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

Common misconception
Pupils incorrectly multiply and divide by 100 when converting, or multiply and divide by 10 instead.

Teacher tip
In Practice task B 2) - when confident, encourage pupils to remove one of the coin types from each pile to increase the challenge level.
