Lesson details
Key learning points
- The teens numbers can be represented as ten and a bit.
- We can solve addition and subtraction problems with the ones part or tens part missing.
- A part-part whole model can help to represent the missing whole or missing parts.
Keywords
Partition - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Whole - All of a group or number.
Part - A piece or section of the whole.
Common misconception
Pupils do not connect a known partition of a teen number e.g. 16 is 1 ten and 6 ones to a subtraction or addition context and therefore use a less efficient strategy.
Practical experiences using a group of 10 and ones are key to supporting understanding that the partitioning structure can work for different contexts.
This lesson includes a range of contexts that cover different addition and subtraction structures to familiarise pupils with problem structures. Contexts can be adapted to suit needs of pupils but ensure these continue to include a breadth of structures.
