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.

This can be shown with pictures as

4 ten sticks	and	7 one blocks

Example

Write the number which is shown as:

Answer

3 tens are 30.

8 ones are 8.

This is  38.

Does that make sense?

Let's move on to some questions now.
