About this worksheet

Speed practice on partitioning for Year 2 maths, in three levels. The warm-up covers standard partitions such as 24 = 20 + __, the level-up moves to tricky partitions like 45 = 30 + __, and the challenge asks number line questions such as whether 39 is closer to 30 or 40. Worked solutions cover every section. Matches two England National Curriculum place value objectives.
