We've moved beyond just tens and ones to discover that there are so many more ways to split a number. This is called flexible partitioning. Instead of only thinking of 23 as 20 and 3, we now know it can also be 10 and 13, or even 15 and 8. We're getting much more confident with this new skill, which helps us with our mental maths and problem-solving!
