One of the most critical skills a student must acquire in the early years is the ability to partition numbers in a variety of ways while recognizing that the total quantity remains unchanged. This is a quest that begins in grade Primary and moves through the grades into a full-fledged understanding of place value. Learn how this big idea unfolds from grades Primary to 3. See how various representations can help students develop their understanding, and discover how this one big idea can set students up for ongoing mathematical success.
