Drawing Tens and Ones Worksheet

Each box starts with a numeral rather than a pre-drawn model. Learners decompose the value, draw groups for the tens and units for the ones, and attempt an equation that recombines the parts. This requires translating from abstract notation into a visual base-ten representation and expanded addition. The second supplied page is labeled for checking, allowing teachers to review both the drawing structure and equation relationship.
