About this resource

Description

The Drawing Tens and Ones Worksheet helps first grade students build a strong foundation in place value by representing two-digit numbers as groups of tens and ones. When children draw tens and ones, they can see that a number like 24 is made of 2 tens and 4 ones, which turns an abstract idea into something they can picture and count. This drawing tens and ones worksheet gives young learners hands-on practice connecting written numbers to base-ten pictures.

On this tens and ones place value worksheet, students look at six two-digit numbers and draw the correct base-ten blocks on a simple Tens and Ones mat. They draw one tall rod for every ten and one small square for every one, then write how many tens and ones make up each number. A complete answer key is included so students, teachers, and parents can check the drawings and counts right away.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 6 draw-and-count place value problems

This drawing tens and ones worksheet helps children learn place value in three ways. First, drawing the blocks builds a clear mental picture of how tens and ones combine to form a number. Second, filling in the tens and ones counts reinforces the link between the picture and the digits in the number. Third, the consistent Tens and Ones mat gives students a repeatable strategy they can use with any two-digit number, growing their confidence and number sense.

Teachers and parents can extend this skill in fun, hands-on ways. Use base-ten blocks, craft sticks bundled in tens, or snap cubes to build the same numbers before drawing them. Call out a number and have children race to draw the tens and ones, or flip it around and have them name the number you drew. Everyday objects like straws, coins, or beads grouped into tens make great practice, and a quick game of build it, draw it, write it turns place value review into play.
