Dd is in Y3 and has recently moved to a new school, in her new school it seems they use a new method for partitioning, according to dd, which she says she doesn't understand at all, which I have to say sounds odd as she was easily partitioning 5 digit numbers at her old school, she says it is a collum method and I can't think what it could possibly be? and dd is not able to explain it very well so I'm a bit stuck as to how to help her, I'm going to ask the teacher next week but thought in the meantime I would ask here.
TIA (I appreciate its a bit of a tough task)
