Tens and Ones Breakdown

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is divided into two sections, both designed to strengthen a student’s understanding of place value. In the first part, students are given numbers between 12 and 19 and are asked to break them down into tens and ones, then fill in the blanks with the correct counts. The second part shows visual representations of numbers using base ten blocks, and students must write the numerical value that the blocks represent.

“Tens and Ones Breakdown” is focused on teaching the concept of place value, which is a critical building block for understanding mathematics. The first section reinforces the idea that two-digit numbers are made up of tens and ones, helping students practice decomposing numbers into these components. The second section allows students to apply their knowledge of place value to count base ten blocks and identify the numbers they represent. This worksheet promotes analytical thinking and improves students’ ability to visualize and understand the value of numbers in different places.
