What this worksheet teaches

• 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).
• Count on and back in tens from any two-digit number.
• Break two-digit numbers into tens and ones and say how many of each there are.

How to use this worksheet

Use the worksheet as a five-minute daily warm-up rather than one long session. Place value settles through short repeated exposure, and Grade 1 attention for abstract number work is genuinely short. Finish each session by asking your child to make one number of their own choosing with the bundles.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Break into tens and ones: 34 = ____ tens and ____ ones
2. Write the expanded form: 56 = ____ + ____

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is expanded form (30 + 6) really necessary this early?

It is worth doing because it makes the value of each digit visible, and it is the exact idea your child will lean on for two-digit addition next year. Keep it short - a few numbers per session is plenty.

How do I know when to move on to the next worksheet?

When your child can say a two-digit number as tens and ones without pausing, and build it with objects on the first try, the concept is secure enough to move on.
