Definition: An action which divides a thing into parts, or separates one thing from another.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look,
At this word “partition,” a clever little hook!
The dictionary gives us a helpful decree,
“Dividing things in pieces, for all to see!”
Think of it like a cake, so sweet and grand,
You slice it neatly, across the land.
Each piece is a portion, a separate delight,
That's partitioning – making everything bright!
Or imagine rooms within a house you see,
Walls standing tall, for privacy and glee.
A partition there, keeps spaces apart,
Dividing them gently, with skillful art.
It’s about separating, breaking down the whole,
Into smaller sections, reaching for your goal!
So “partition” means to divide and set things free,
To separate and portion – can you agree?
Now, who can give me an example of something partitioned? Raise your hand if you're feeling keen!
