About this resource

Description

Place value is the idea that where a digit sits tells how much it is worth. In a two-digit number, the digit on the left counts tens and the digit on the right counts ones. This Place Value Worksheet helps first graders see that ten ones can always be traded for one ten, so a number can be shown in more than one way and still keep the same value.

In Part A, students count the base-ten rods and unit cubes in five pictures. Some pictures show more than nine ones, so children bundle ten ones into a new ten before they draw a line to the matching number. In Part B, students break one ten into ten ones and write how many ones make the same number, such as 5 tens 2 ones = 4 tens 12 ones. Every picture is a clean, accurate base-ten model.

What’s Included

  • Five base-ten block pictures to match to two-digit numbers
  • Three “same number, new way” regrouping problems with answer boxes
  • A full answer key with the matching lines and every answer

Why It Helps Kids

  • Trading ten ones for one ten builds the regrouping sense children need for adding and subtracting later.
  • Matching pictures to numbers links the concrete model to the written numeral.
  • Seeing one number written two ways shows that place value is about value, not just where digits sit.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before students begin, let them build one of the Part A numbers with real base-ten blocks, straws, or linking cubes and trade ten loose ones for a rod. Use this 1st grade base 10 worksheet at a math center, as a quick exit ticket, or as homework after a place value lesson. The place value worksheet also pairs well with a class game where one child shows a number with blocks and a partner finds a second way to show it.
