Watch: What is partitioning?
Using partitioning?
Partitioning is a useful way of breaking numbers up so they are easier to work with.
The number 746 can be broken down into hundreds, tens and ones - 7 hundreds, 4 tens and 6 ones.
The number 23 can be broken down into 2 tens and 3 ones or 10 and 13.
However you break the number down, it will make maths easier!
