What this worksheet teaches
- Build numbers up to 100 using bundles of ten and single units.
- Explain why the 4 in 42 stands for forty and not four.
- Compare two-digit numbers by looking at the tens digit first.
- Write the expanded form of a two-digit number (for example 36 = 30 + 6).
How to use this worksheet
Do the first two questions together out loud, saying the number the long way: 'thirty-four is three tens and four ones.' Then let your child continue alone. The wording matters more than the writing at this stage - children who can say it correctly almost always write it correctly a few days later.
Sample questions from this worksheet
- Break the number: 62 = ____ tens and ____ ones
- Expanded form: 88 = ____ + ____
Frequently asked questions
Why does my child write 51 instead of 15?
Digit reversal is very common in Grade 1 and is usually a position problem, not a number problem. Labelled 'tens' and 'ones' columns, used for a week or two, clear it up for most children.
Do we need base-ten blocks for this worksheet?
No. The worksheet is complete with pencil and paper. Any ten identical small objects plus an elastic band do the same job as shop-bought blocks.
How high should Grade 1 place value go?
Tens and ones up to 100 is the standard Grade 1 range. Hundreds are usually a Grade 2 skill, so there is no need to push past 100 before two-digit work is comfortable.
