What students will learn

  • Group ten ones as one ten.

  • Write numbers to 100 with correct digits.
  • Compare two-digit numbers by looking at tens first.
  • Explain number choices using place value words.

Lessons

Parent guide

Pace this course over three short sessions or one week of practice. Use small household objects so the child can build numbers before writing them. Ask the child to explain every answer using the words tens and ones. If a lesson feels hard, return to drawing quick tens as sticks and ones as dots.

Completion

A student finishes this course when they can build a two-digit number with tens and ones, read it aloud, write it correctly, and compare it with another two-digit number using a place value explanation.
