Tens and Ones Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Children ages 4-6 begin exploring the concept of tens and ones by matching groups of objects to their corresponding number sentences, an early step toward understanding place value in two-digit numbers. Cutting and pasting pictures into the correct boxes reinforces the matching logic while adding fine motor practice. This groundwork prepares children for later math concepts like regrouping and multi-digit addition.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture group on the left together and count the total number of objects shown. Have your child find the number sentence on the right that correctly represents that group and draw a connecting line between them. Move to the cut-and-paste section, where your child cuts out the remaining picture pieces and glues them into the box matching the correct quantity. Review the completed page together, counting each group once more to confirm accuracy.
