Place Value Beads: Count and Fill the Numbers Worksheet

Counting beads on an abacus-style picture and writing the tens and ones totals teaches children ages 3-5 place value through a visual, hands-on representation rather than abstract numerals alone. Solving the final abacus total afterward reinforces that a two-digit number is really the sum of its tens and ones parts.

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first abacus picture together and count the beads in the tens row, then count the beads in the ones row separately. Have your child write each count in the correct tens and ones box. Once both boxes are filled in, ask them to combine the tens and ones to solve the abacus's total number.

Materials needed

  • Pencil
  • Crayons

Extension activities

  • Build your own simple abacus using pipe cleaners threaded with beads.

  • Draw new abacus pictures with different bead counts for extra practice.
