Description
Looking for a purposeful way to strengthen students’ understanding of multi-digit addition and subtraction?
This resource explicitly teaches the Partitioning strategy, supporting students to break numbers apart and recombine them in ways that make calculations clearer and more manageable. Learning is grounded in meaningful word problems that encourage sense-making rather than memorisation.
