Eight pictures of base-ten blocks (tens rods and ones cubes) for two-digit numbers. Children count the rods and cubes, write how many tens and ones, and then write the number. The Common Core standards ask 1st graders to understand that the two digits of a two-digit number stand for tens and ones.
This is the moment place value becomes visible: 4 rods and 7 cubes is 47, and 47 means 4 tens and 7 ones. If you have real base-ten blocks, build each number before writing. Next, try comparing numbers or 2nd grade place value with hundreds.
Tips for using it
- Count the tens by 10s (10, 20, 30, 40), then count on the ones.
- Bundle 10 straws with a rubber band to make your own tens.
