Year 1 used fantastic mathematical skills when partitioning numbers to 100. They had two piles of cards, a tens pile and a ones pile. They had to pick a card from each pile and put them together to make a whole. They had to write how many tens they had and how many ones. Some children also noticed that, for example, having 7 tens and 10 ones would make 80, using their tens times tables to help them. Miss Woods was very impressed with how quickly they were able to work out the wholes.
