Place Block Counting

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a hands-on activity designed to teach students about place value in a tactile and visual way. It presents a series of problems labeled from ‘a’ to ‘f’, each with a set of place value blocks representing tens and ones, and an equation format where the number is missing. Students are required to cut out numbers provided at the bottom of the page and glue them next to the correct set of place value blocks. The aim is for students to match the visual representation of tens and ones with the corresponding numerical value.

The worksheet serves as a practical tool for teaching students how to visually interpret and understand the place value system for tens and ones. It encourages them to count the number of tens and ones in the block representation and then find the matching numeral. This activity not only reinforces the concept of place value but also helps to develop fine motor skills through cutting and pasting. Furthermore, it provides immediate visual feedback to the students, allowing them to self-assess their understanding of the concept.
