Lesson details
Key learning points
- The teens numbers can be partitioned into ten and a bit.
- Problems can be represented using part-part-whole models, tens frames and sum equations.
- The 10 and a bit can be represented in the problem.
Keywords
Partition - The act of splitting an object or value down into smaller parts.
Part - A piece or section of the whole.
Sum - The total when numbers are added together.
Common misconception
Pupils continue to count all when finding the sum instead of counting on from 10 or using their developing fluency with partitioning teen numbers into 10 and a bit.
Provide concrete and pictorial examples where 10 is provided as a group that is hard to separate and count. Continue to emphasise one ten as a group of 10 that does not need to be counted in ones.
