Bundles of ten, bunches of fun!
First graders discover that ten ones can be bundled into one ten. They learn that the digits in a two-digit number stand for tens and ones, so 47 = 4 tens + 7 ones. They compare numbers, find 10 more and 10 less without counting, and add tens and ones to 100. Base ten blocks, bundled straws and drawings make it visible. The click moment comes when a child sees 63 and says, "That's six tens and three more!"
First grade place value is all about seeing groups of ten. These moves help kids see it and say it.
Give kids loose straws or cubes and have them make bundles of ten, then count the bundles and leftovers. Then write the number. Doing the grouping themselves shows why the 4 in 47 means forty.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Why it works: when kids say the precise math words, their understanding gets sharper, a recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

It's understanding that the digits in a two-digit number stand for tens and ones. In 35, the 3 means 3 tens, or 30, and the 5 means 5 ones.
Start with real objects. Bundle straws or link cubes into groups of ten and count the leftover ones. Then connect the bundles to written numbers.
It's adding or taking away one ten. First graders learn that only the tens digit changes, so 10 more than 42 is 52.
Count coins with dimes and pennies, or bundle sticks or pasta into tens. Ask "How many tens? How many ones?" while you count.
