This week in math, we are learning a new concept and looking at numbers as groups of 10’s and 1’s. This can be a challenging concept to practice, so I found a few additional resources to share with you. Both of them have components to print, but you can also look at them online to have your student practice identifying numbers by groups of 10’s and 1’s.
These “Tens and Ones Flip Booklets” are for the numbers 9-20 created by Dwayne Kohn (https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Dwayne-Kohn). The directions are printed around the edges of the black and white pages, and these are the only pages you need to print to make two mini flip books. The colored pages show you the answers. If you are not able to print the book, you can have your student look at the black and white pages and try to figure out the answers. There are pictures of cubes in groups of 10’s and 1’s to count and then color and write the correct number.
This one is a challenge game called “Place Value Top It” which includes numbers larger than 20. We are only focusing on numbers 11-20 right now, but this game is fun if your student is looking for a challenge. The directions are on the third page.
