Partitioning 10
This hands-on worksheet helps students explore combinations that make ten using visual representations and expanded form. Learners use two different coloured blocks to build and colour partitioned groups of ten, then record each combination as an addition sentence. The activity supports the development of early number sense and part-part-whole relationships.

Learning goals
- We are learning to partition and combine collections up to 10 using counting strategies.
- We are learning to use counting or subitising strategies for addition and subtraction in everyday role-play situations.
- We are learning to connect number names, numerals and quantities to 10.
- We are learning to use strategies for adding small groups of numbers, e.g. visual displays or concrete materials.
