The Place Value: Tens and Ones worksheet helps 1st and 2nd graders build a concrete understanding of how two-digit numbers are composed, forming the essential foundation for regrouping, addition, and subtraction with larger numbers.

How to Solve Place Value

For each number, identify how many tens and how many ones it contains. Remember that the digit on the left tells you the number of tens (groups of 10), and the digit on the right tells you the number of ones (single units). For example, 47 has 4 tens and 7 ones. You can draw base-ten blocks ??? long bars for tens and small squares for ones ??? to visualize each number.
