‘I have investigated how whole numbers are constructed, can understand the importance of zero within the system and can use my knowledge to explain the link between a digit, its place and its value. MNU 1-02a’
This week Primary Two have been learning all about place value and how to partition two digit numbers into tens and units. We really enjoyed using the ten and units to layout different numbers up to 100. Once we got the hang of this we then practised adding two digit numbers together by partitioning (adding the tens together and then the units). We worked very hard and can now add two digit numbers through using our knowledge of partitioning. By Thursday we were able to teach each other how to add two digit numbers! Well done to everyone in Primary Two you all worked very hard!
Mr Nelson.
I am very impressed P2 with your understanding and use of mathematical language – can you explain to someone at home what we mean by partitioning?
When would you add two two digit numbers in a real life context ?
