Tens and Ones Worksheet: Counting and Place Value Practice!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the number in the first box together and say it aloud, like 'twenty-three.' Ask your child how many groups of ten fit into that number and how many are left over as ones. Have them draw the correct number of 'ten' crayons and 'one' crayons to match, counting aloud as they draw each one. Repeat for each number on the page, checking that the total matches the number shown.
