1. Solve this in steps: explain the method from this lesson and why each step matters.

The numbers 11-19 can be formed by combining a ten and ones. The numbers 11-19 can be partitioned into a ten and ones.

2. Use this key word in a maths sentence and explain it clearly. 'Partition'

Splitting an object or value into smaller parts. Use this word when showing your method, then check your final answer is reasonable.

3. Spot and fix this common maths mistake.

Mistake: Pupils use one to one correspondence to count all rather than counting on from a group of 10 to identify a teen number. Correction: Provide concrete and pictorial examples where it is more difficult to count the ones in a group of 10 e.g. a bundle of straws or box of pencils. Encourage pupils to use the phrase 'one ten and ...' to focus attention on counting on from 10.
