Common misconception
Children may think that a part only needs to be something smaller than the whole and not part of it.
Spend some time identifying wholes in the classroom and then get the children to identify a part of it. Get the children to play games involving spotting non-examples to strengthen their understanding. Ensure the wholes you use are clearly defined.
