What does partitioning mean in maths?

Partitioning means splitting a number into its parts, usually hundreds, tens and units. So 342 becomes 300, 40 and 2. It helps a child see how numbers are built, which makes adding and subtracting easier.

How do I teach place value at home?

Start with real objects your child can group into tens and ones, then move to writing the numbers down. Ask what each digit is worth. In 56, the 5 is worth fifty, not five. Keep the numbers small at first, then build up.

Why is partitioning useful?

It makes bigger sums less daunting. Once a child can break a number into hundreds, tens and units, they can work on each part on its own, then put it back together. It is the thinking behind most written methods.

Number Bonds

KS1 and Foundation Stage children will learn to add to 10. They will be taught pairs of numbers that make 10 at school - these are called number bonds or number facts. Children need to know these number facts to help them add and subtract numbers quickly. Especially useful when they move into Key Stage 2 and are required to use larger numbers.

Teach My Kids worksheets for KS1 help kids learn number facts to 10.

This maths activity helps children add numbers to 10. They complete the sums and colour in the correct number of squares to match the sum.

Children are asked to colour in the blocks of 10 to help them visualise what number bonds to 10 look like. For some children, this may be the best way for them to learn.
Click on the link at the bottom of this page to download a free number bonds worksheet.

Number Bonds to 20 and Beyond

Children should be encoraged to also learn number bonds to 20, 50 and 100. The ability to recall these facts quickly builds good foundations for calculations they will have to do as they move up the school. There are many games children can play to learn number bonds. In the long term, it will also help them when calculating percentages and decimal numbers.

Join Teach My Kids and gain access to Maths worksheets that develop number bond skills.

From the kitchen table

From parents who already print at home.

Real parents, phonics through to SATs.

"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!

As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.

I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."
