Year 4 flexible partitioning

Date: 20th Sep 2022 @ 3:58pm

We have been looking at partitioning in Maths, but this week we have been looking at flexible where it is as straight forward as splitting a number using the place value chart. For example, if we partitioned 2894, we would probably do 2000+800+90+4. Flexible partitioning means that we look at numbers differently. So we could partition 2894 by doing 1000+ 1800+90+4 or 1100+1700+80+14 - there are many ways!
