Part Part Whole Relationships

Rearranging parts is an early strategy students can use when working on addition and subtraction problems. It works well when using concrete materials to demonstrate that the whole is still the same while changing the parts.

This instructional slide deck aims to demonstrate the strategy using counting cubes. Encourage your students to use physical manipulatives to match those shown in the slide deck.

Through this activity, students will learn multiple ways to practice the rearranging parts strategy.
