Product description

From the author

This 20-page PDF gives learners repeated practice with tens and ones. Students count illustrated collections, circle groups of ten and record the number of tens, leftover ones and objects altogether.

Use individual pages as first-grade practice or quick exit slips. The pages follow a similar answer layout and use varied picture collections. No answer key is included.
