• 2 tens and 16 ones

• 3 tens and 6 ones

• No tens and 36 ones

• 1 ten and 26 ones

How can you partition the number 36 in a non-standard way using base 10 blocks?

• 3 tens and 6 ones

• 2 tens and 16 ones

• 4 tens and 6 ones

• 1 ten and 36 ones

What is one possible non-standard partition of 36 without using base 10 blocks?

• 3 tens and 6 ones

• No tens and 36 ones

• 2 tens and 16 ones

• 1 ten and 26 ones

Which of the following is NOT a non-standard partition of 36?

• 2 tens and 16 ones

• 4 tens and 6 ones

• No tens and 36 ones

• 1 ten and 26 ones

Why is it important to learn non-standard partitioning without base 10 blocks?

• It is the only way to partition numbers

• It helps when base 10 blocks are unavailable

• It is more accurate than standard partitioning

• It is faster than using base 10 blocks
