partition and combine collections up to 10 using part-part-whole relationships and subitising to recognise and name the parts

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising numbers represented in physical or virtual ten-frames, and describing their reasoning: “It’s \(7\) because there is \(5\) there and \(2\) more”
• partitioning collections of up to \(10\) objects in different ways and saying the part-part-whole relationship; for example, partitioning a collection of \(6\) counters into \(4\) counters and \(2\) counters and saying, “\(6\) is \(4\) and \(2\) more, it’s \(2\) and \(4\)”, then partitioning the same collection into \(5\) and one or \(3\) and \(3\)
• representing part-part-whole relationships in numbers up to \(10\) using physical or virtual materials; for example, identifying numbers represented by dots in standard number configurations such as dominos and dice by recognising parts that form the whole
