Number > Place Value

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Partition, rearrange, regroup and rename two- and three-digit numbers using standard and non-standard groupings; recognise the role of a zero digit in place value notation.

What this means

Flexible use of place value with two and three-digit numbers.

You can partition (break numbers into parts) in:

  • Standard partitioning e.g. 392 as
    3 hundreds + 9 tens + 2 ones
    (300 + 90 + 2)
  • Place value e.g. 39 tens and 2 ones or 380 and 12.
    Non-standard e.g. 280 + 100 + 2
  • Renaming covers ‘trading’, ‘regrouping’, etc. For example, 248 can be interpreted as 2 hundreds 4 tens 8 ones, or 24 tens 8 ones, or 248 ones.

Tip

Zero’s role in place value is much easier for students to grasp when materials are used.
