About this resource

Description

Understanding place value is one of the first big steps young mathematicians take, and this Counting Tens Ones Worksheet gives first graders a hands-on way to master it. When children can look at a group of base-ten blocks and see how many tens and how many ones make up a number, they build the foundation for reading, writing, and comparing two-digit numbers. Counting tens and ones turns abstract numbers into something students can see, count, and truly understand.

This printable first grade place value worksheet presents eight practice problems, each showing a set of tens rods and ones units. Students count the tens, count the ones, record each amount in the tens-and-ones chart, and then write the two-digit number the blocks represent. Use it for morning work, a math center, homework, or a quick review before a place value assessment. Because every problem follows the same clear format, children can work independently while you circulate and check their understanding.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 8 base-ten block counting problems

This Counting Tens Ones Worksheet helps children learn in three important ways. First, the visual base-ten blocks connect concrete counting to written numbers, so students truly understand what each digit means. Second, the tens-and-ones chart breaks each number into its parts, reinforcing that the digit on the left counts groups of ten. Third, writing the final number builds fluency with two-digit numerals and prepares students for adding, subtracting, and regrouping later on.

To extend the learning, hand children real base-ten blocks, bundles of craft sticks, or stacks of coins and ask them to build the numbers they see on the page. Play a quick game where you call out a number and students race to show it with tens and ones. Parents can practice at home by counting groups of ten socks, crackers, or building bricks. Connecting the worksheet to everyday objects keeps place value fun and memorable.
