Identify the tens and ones place in a two-digit number.
Represent a number up to 100 using base-ten blocks.
State the value of a digit in the tens place (e.g., the 4 in 45 is 40).
State the value of a digit in the ones place (e.g., the 5 in 45 is 5).
Draw a model of a two-digit number using sticks and dots.
Count groups of tens and ones to find a total number.

Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
DigitA digit is any number from 0 to 9. They are like number building blocks. π§±The number 17 has two digits: 1 and 7.
Ones PlaceThis is the spot for single items. It tells us how many 'ones' we have. π§In the number 23, the 3 is in the ones place. It means 3 single cubes.
Tens PlaceThis is the spot for groups of ten. It tells us how many 'tens' we have. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦In the number 23, the 2 is in the tens place. It means 2 groups of ten.
Place ValueThis tells us how much a digit is worth. It depends on its spot in a number. π€In 58, the 5 is worth 50. The 8 is worth 8.
Base-Ten BlocksSpecial blocks to help us see numbers. A long stick is a 'ten'. A small cube is a 'one'.To show 12, you use 1 ten stick and 2 one cubes. π«π«

Core Formulas
The Ten Ones Rule
10 Ones = 1 Ten
When you have 10 single cubes, you can trade them for 1 long ten stick. It's a fair trade! β¨
Building a Number
Number = Tens + Ones
To find the total, you add the value of the tens place and the ones place together.
