Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Place value resources can help you to partition decimal numbers with hundredths in different ways.
  2. Decimal numbers with hundredths can be partitioned into a whole number, a number of tenths and a number of hundredths.
  3. Part-part-whole models can be used to partition decimal numbers with hundredths into two parts in different ways.
  4. Decimal numbers with hundredths can be written as multiplication equations with a factor of 0.01

Keywords

  • Partitioning - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.

  • Decimal numbers - A number with a decimal point followed by digits that show the fractional part.

Common misconception

Pupils write subtraction equations incorrectly for example: 7.42 = 7 − 0.4 − 0.02

Create the number using place value counters and subtract parts whilst drawing a part-whole model and writing the equation alongside.

Encourage pupils to be as flexible as they can with their partitioning. Also ensure pupils are regularly reasoning about where the numbers in their equations represent each time - particularly when combining both addition and multiplication.

Correct Answer: 0.06
Q2.
Tick the equations that could be written based on this part-part-whole model.
An image in a quiz
Correct answer: 4.82 - 4 = 0.82
4 + 8 + 0.2 = 4.82
Correct answer: 0.8 = 4.82 - 4.02
0.8 = 4 + 0.02
Q3.
Match the correct expression to each sum.
Correct Answer:2.1 + 1.15 ,3.25

3.25

Correct Answer:1.2 + 2.06,3.26

3.26

Correct Answer:3.12 + 0.23,3.35

3.35

Q4.
Fill in the missing number of this equation: 1 x 6 + x 3 + 0.01 x 4 = 6.34
Correct Answer: 0.1
Q5.
Tick the expressions that sum to 3.52
3 + 5 x 0.1 + 2 x 0.1
Correct answer: 5 x 0.1 + 3 x 1 + 2 x 0.01
3 + 5 + 0.1 x 2
Correct answer: 3 x 1 + 5 x 0.1 + 2 x 0.01
Q6.
Tick the partitioned equation that would not sum to 7.36
7 + 0.3 + 0.06
