In this activity, we will be writing a number as tens and ones. The coins might help.
Example
Write the number as tens and ones.
Put the missing number in the box.
Answer
The silver coins add up to the number of tens.
50 + 20 + 10 = 80p
The bronze coins add up to the number of ones.
1 + 1 + 1 = 3p
Does that make sense?
Let's have a go at some questions and see if it becomes easier.
