Partitioning with Pat, Pam and Pete

This series of worksheets asks students to standard and non-standard partition a number using the number expander visuals. Three blank templates have been included

  • Numbers to tens
  • Numbers to hundreds
  • Numbers to thousands

Teachers simple provide students with a number for students to standard and non-standard partition.

A great resource for providing scaffolding to students who struggle to understand this tricky concept! This worksheet is part of a larger unit of work on place value to 500.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to show that two- and three-digit numbers can be partitioned and re-named in different ways, such as partitioning three-digit numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 10 000.
  • We are learning to count collections to 1000 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least tens of thousands.
