Drawing Tens and Ones Worksheet – 1st Grade Base 10 & Place Value

Build strong base 10 skills with the Drawing Tens and Ones Worksheet. This first grade math printable keeps the focus on one skill so students can practice it with confidence.

Learning objective: Students will review base 10, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.

Why it works: Short, focused practice is one of the best ways to help first grade students remember a new skill. Clear directions mean students can get started quickly, and the simple format makes it easy for you to spot who needs more help.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Draw tens and ones to show each number. Draw a tall rod for each ten in the Tens box and a small square for each one in the Ones box. Then write how many tens and ones." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

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: It is a great fit for morning work, learning centers, intervention groups, test review, homeschool lessons, and take-home practice.

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