Learning objective

What this activity builds

Compose a two-digit number as a quantity of tens and leftover ones.

Worked example

Build 14 with tens and ones.

1 ten and 4 ones.

One group of ten accounts for 10; four single units make 4 more, so 10 + 4 = 14.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Build the number with loose counters before using the paper pieces.
  • Use the seven-place labeling extension only when the learner already understands how each position changes a digit’s value.
