Lesson details
Key learning points
- Partitioning of 3-digit numbers can be represented using base ten blocks or bar models.
- 3-digit numbers can be partitioned into 2 or 3 parts in many different ways.
- Partititoning can be used to find missing parts or addends.
Keywords
Partition - Partition means splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle when partitioning hundreds and tens (e.g. partitioning 340 into 220 and 120).
Give pupils opportunities to manipulate base ten blocks, rearranging them and partitioning both the hundreds and the tens.
Pupils will find base ten blocks invaluable in this lesson. Giving them opportunities to manipulate these will develop their flexibility in partitioning 3-digit numbers.
