The problem of understanding partition tools is ubiquitous.What is completely obvious to a programmer is incomprehensible to a newbie. You can see posts about this problem on every forum everywhere. So far, the simplest and most undestandable explanation that I have found is in "Teach Yourself Red Hat Linux Visually". It has 17 screen shots of the partition process, along with supporting text. It is not perfect,. It could also be expanded and a couple of areas are not too clear. Given that this discussion is about linux for kids (which, regardless of age, is about my level) I hope that this problem will be given the attention that it deserves. Hope springs eternal!
