Common misconception
Pupils may not see the link between partitioning 100 into 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts and partitioning 1,000 into those equal parts.
You may wish to revisit partitioning 100 into equal parts, using representations familiar to pupils, to help them to understand that their knowledge of partitioning 100 can be applied to partitioning 1,000
You may want to give opportunities for pupils to investigate measuring equipment in the classroom and discuss the intervals that they see. For mass, you could use real scales and masses and for capacity, pour water into different measuring containers to explore different scales.
