Count Tens and Ones Worksheet – 1st Grade Base 10 & Counting Practice

Looking for simple, effective base 10 practice for first grade? The Count Tens and Ones Worksheet is a ready-to-print math resource that students can complete on their own after a short introduction.

Learning objective: Students will practice base 10 and apply the skill independently by completing each task on the page.

Why it works: Each page targets one skill, so students get meaningful repetition without feeling overwhelmed. The layout is clean and uncluttered, which helps young learners focus on the task instead of the decorations.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• 2 practice sections (Part A to Part B)

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Count the tens and the ones in each picture. Write them in the chart. Then write the number on the line." The practice is split into 2 parts, so students can work through it in clear steps.

Grade level: Designed for first grade students. It also works well for kindergarten and second grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.

Teaching tips and variations:

• Model the first item together, then let students finish the rest independently.

• Project the page and solve one or two items as a class before students work on their own.

• Slip the page into a sheet protector so students can practice again with dry-erase markers.
