Part-Part-Whole


 * Part-Part-Whole

Students should be able to recognize that each number is made up of parts that create the whole number, hence the term part-part-whole. When students are able to make the connection between the parts that make up a number, they are able to develop facility with  basic   number facts. The concept of part-part-whole is reinforced by the student's ability to subitize.

Example

The number 10 is made up of the following part-part-whole combinations:

9 and 1 @@@@@@@@@ / @

8 and 2 @@@@@@@@ / @@

7 and 3 @@@@@@@ / @@@
