Tens and Ones

We've been working on looking at numbers and separating them into their tens and ones. We can take 65 and see that it is 6 tens and 5 ones. We've also been working on the reverse of this as well. We can take 8 tens and 3 ones and know it's 83. We have also been working on how to count tens and ones, by first counting groups of tens by ten and then adding the ones. For example, while looking at 3 groups of ten and 2 ones a student would count 10, 20, 30, 31, 32.
Try giving your students numbers at home and see if they can tell you the tens and ones!
