Nimble Numbers - Partitioning Numbers to 100

Match stick bundles to numerals under 100 in this simple matching game, designed as a simple classroom maths rotation activity for Year 1. Students identify the modeling of numbers to 100 and partition those numbers using place value. 

Learning goals

  • We are learning to read, write, model and represent numbers to 100 in different ways and on number lines.
  • We are learning to count collections to 100 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to read, write, name and order two-digit numbers to at least 120 using concrete materials, hundred charts and number lines.
  • We are learning to show that one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways, such as partitioning two-digit numbers into tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to model problems involving addition and subtraction, including simple whole-dollar money problems, in practical role-play situations.
  • We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
