Tens and Ones Worksheet: Matching and Counting Fun!
Understanding that a two-digit number is made up of groups of ten plus some extra ones is one of the most important early place value concepts for children ages 4-6, forming the foundation for all later multi-digit addition and subtraction. This worksheet combines an equation-matching task with an object-counting task, giving children practice with basic addition facts alongside the specific skill of grouping objects into tens and counting remaining ones. Seeing the same numerical ideas presented in two different formats on one page helps reinforce that place value isn't just an abstract rule but a way of organizing real quantities.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the equations on the left side of the page together and read each one aloud. Have your child solve each equation and draw a line to match it with the correct answer on the right.

Have them fill in the blanks with the correct number of tens and ones, then read the completed number aloud together.
