About this resource

Description

Base ten blocks help young learners see how tens and ones build every two-digit number, and this Using Base 10 Blocks to Write Numbers Worksheet gives first graders hands-on practice reading a set of rods and cubes and recording the number they represent. By connecting the picture of the blocks to the digits in the tens and ones places, students build a strong, visual foundation for place value.

This base ten blocks place value worksheet presents eight sets of blocks, each paired with a tens-and-ones table and a space to write the final number. Students count the tall rods as tens, count the small cubes as ones, fill in each column of the chart, and then write the two-digit number. To use it, print the page and let children work independently, in pairs, or as a quick warm-up, and use the included answer key to check work in seconds.

What’s Included

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

This Using Base 10 Blocks to Write Numbers Worksheet helps children in three key ways. First, it strengthens place value understanding by asking students to separate a number into tens and ones before writing it. Second, the picture-to-number format supports visual and concrete learners who benefit from seeing quantities represented with blocks. Third, the tens-and-ones table builds the habit of organizing digits by place, which prepares students for adding, subtracting, and comparing larger numbers.

Teachers and parents can extend this skill with real base ten manipulatives, having children build a number with rods and cubes and then write it down. Try calling out a number and asking students to show it with blocks, or reverse the activity by writing a number and drawing the matching blocks. Everyday objects like straws bundled into tens or stacking cubes also make great hands-on practice at home.
