Give your pupils the opportunity to apply what they have learnt about partitioning into tens and ones with this differentiated Year 1 Partition into Tens and Ones within 50 Reasoning and Problem Solving resource.

With a range of questions to get pupils reasoning and problem solving with numbers to 50 and partitioning, this resource is ideal for use in class, or as extra practice at home. It also comes complete with answers to provide immediate feedback and supports self or peer assessment.

The resource is differentiated to three levels of challenge:

Developing: Identify which numbers can be made with the equipment. 3 numbers up to 50 are given, and number pieces and tens frames are used. Explain the mistake made when representing a number using tens and ones. Tens frames and bead strings are used to represent numbers up to 50. Explain whether there are enough materials to complete a part-whole model. Number pieces are used to represent numbers up to 50. Tens partially filled, ones completed.

Expected: Identify which numbers can be made with the equipment. 5 numbers up to 50 are given, and straws and Base 10 are used. Explain the mistake made when representing a number using tens and ones. Straws and Base 10 are used to represent numbers up to 50. Explain whether there are enough materials to complete a part-whole model. Base 10 is used to represent numbers up to 50. Tens and ones partially filled.

Greater Depth: Identify which numbers can be made with the equipment. 5 numbers up to 50 are given, and Base 10 and place value counters are used in a mixed arrangement. Explain the mistake made when representing a number using tens and ones. Base 10 and place value counters are used in a mixed arrangement to represent numbers up to 50. Explain whether there are enough materials to complete a part-whole model. Base 10 and place value counters are used in a mixed arrangement to represent numbers up to 50.
