Common misconception
Children may struggle to make the connection between the concrete, pictorial and abstract representations.
When using the part–part–whole representation, make sure you explicitly connect each number with what it represents. Ask the children to describe what they can see using the full stem sentences. 'The ___ represents the __________.'
