This activity is about splitting numbers into tens and ones.

When we write the number 47,

we say forty-seven.

This is forty and seven

which is 4 tens and 7 ones.

Example

Write the number which is 3 tens and 8 ones.

Answer

3 tens are 30.

8 ones are 8.

This is 38.

Shall we try another one?

What number can we make from 5 tens and 2 ones?

5 tens are 50

2 ones are 2.

This makes 52.

Time for some questions now.
