Place value - Tens and ones within 50 - Worksheet

Worksheets focused on understanding tens and ones within the number 50 are an integral part of developing a strong foundation in place value for young learners. Through the use of practical equipment such as straws, lolly sticks, or cubes, children can visually represent and count numbers up to 50, reinforcing the concept that ten ones can be grouped into one ten. The exercises guide students to complete part-whole models and place value charts, where they count tens and ones to visualise and record the numbers. This hands-on approach aids in cementing their comprehension of how numbers are constructed and deconstructed into tens and ones.

Furthering their knowledge, children tackle reasoning and problem-solving tasks that require them to explain their understanding either verbally or in writing. These tasks might involve correcting or confirming the work of fictional peers who have attempted to build numbers using part-whole models. For example, a child might have to determine whether a peer has correctly represented the number 48 using tens and ones. Answer keys are provided to facilitate self-assessment and help identify areas where a child might have misconceptions, ensuring that they grasp the relationship between tens and ones within the number 50.
