Place Value Worksheets 1st Grade | Place Value TENS AND ONES Practice by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Twenty exit-slip worksheets give students repeated practice representing a quantity as tens and ones. The first ten pages show a picture set — balls, apples, yo-yos, bananas, cats, trees, oranges, dogs, lemons, and cucumbers — that students count, circle into groups of ten, and record as a tens/ones/total answer; the remaining ten pages drop the object theme and ask only 'How many tens and ones?' in the same three-blank answer format. Every page follows an identical 'Circle groups of ten, then write the number of tens and ones and how many all together' instruction, making the set a straightforward daily quick-check rather than a varied practice format. No answer key is included.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Represent a counted quantity of objects as a number of tens, a number of ones, and a total
Group a set of objects into tens to support place-value counting

Teaching tips

Use one slip per day as a quick formative check (exit slip) of place-value understanding rather than as a full lesson.
Preview the ten picture-based pages ahead of time, since each uses a different object set (balls, apples, yo-yos, bananas, cats, trees, oranges, dogs, lemons, and cucumbers).
Move from the picture-based pages to the abstract 'How many tens and ones?' pages as a natural progression from concrete to representational place-value practice.

Skills covered

Tens-and-ones decomposition — students circle groups of ten within a counted set and record the resulting tens, ones, and total.
Place-value quick-check response — students complete a short, consistent exit-slip format to demonstrate place-value understanding in under a minute.
