Description
Teen numbers are the first place young learners meet the big idea of place value, and this draw tens and ones worksheet helps kindergarten students see that every number from 11 to 19 is made of one ten and some more ones. Instead of memorizing, children build each number themselves by drawing a ten stick and the leftover ones, then write the matching number in an equation such as 16 = 10 + 6.
This kindergarten base 10 worksheet starts with a worked example so students can see exactly what to do. Six teen-number cards follow. On each card the child looks at the number, draws one ten and the correct number of ones in the dotted drawing space, and writes how many ones in the box. The numbers are mixed up, so children must think about each one rather than follow a pattern. Use it for independent practice, a math center, small-group instruction, or a quick homework page.
What’s Included
- A worked example showing 13 as one ten and three ones
- Six teen-number cards with a drawing space and an equation to complete
- Large, kid-friendly numbers and boxes sized for young writers
- A complete answer key with every drawing and equation filled in
This draw tens and ones worksheet helps children in three ways. First, drawing the ten and the ones makes place value concrete, so students understand why the 1 in 16 means ten. Second, writing the equation connects the picture to numbers, which builds the foundation for addition and later two-digit math. Third, the mixed order of the numbers asks children to read and think carefully, strengthening number sense and attention to detail.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson with real objects. Bundle ten straws or craft sticks with a rubber band and let children add loose sticks to build each teen number. Use linking cubes to make a tower of ten and a few extra cubes, then ask students to say the number sentence aloud. Call out a teen number and have children show it on a whiteboard with a quick ten stick and dots, or play a game where partners build numbers for each other to name.
