Circle the Bead Value

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a numerical identification activity that features several abacuses, each with beads placed on the tens (T) and ones (O) rods. Under each abacus, there are two numbers, and students are instructed to circle the number that corresponds to the bead arrangement shown on the abacus above it. The worksheet is designed to test the student’s ability to recognize and understand the place value of tens and ones as represented visually by the beads. The clarity of the task allows students to focus on each individual abacus and strengthens their number recognition skills.

The educational intent of this worksheet is to reinforce students’ knowledge of the decimal place value system, specifically for the tens and ones places. It serves to enhance the students’ skills in translating the physical representation of numbers on an abacus to their numerical form. By identifying the correct number, students are practicing their ability to count and understand numbers within the context of place value. This activity also aids in boosting their confidence in working with numbers and develops their attention to detail in mathematical tasks.
