Build Two-Digit Numbers

Put Tens and Ones Together

Now that your child can identify tens and ones, it is time to practice building numbers from scratch! In this activity, students will compose two-digit numbers by combining groups of ten and single units.

• Read descriptions like “5 tens and 2 ones” and write the matching number
• Select the correct base ten block model for a given number
• Practice writing numbers from 10 to 99 using place value thinking

Each question gives clear feedback to reinforce the connection between digit position and value. This hands-on practice builds the foundation for addition and subtraction later on!
