Common misconception

Pupils may not see the link between partitioning 100 into 2, 4, 5 and 10 equal parts and partitioning 1,000 into those equal parts.

You may wish to revisit partitioning 100 into equal parts, using representations familiar to pupils, to help them to understand that their knowledge of partitioning 100 can be applied to partitioning 1,000
