Worksheet 1 Worksheet 2 Worksheet 3 Worksheet 4

Place value is one of the most important early math skills. It helps students understand how numbers are built and why digits have different values.

Understanding Place Value: Tens and Ones (Lesson)

In a two‑digit number, the first digit shows the number of tens, and the second digit shows the number of ones.

Example: 20 + 3:

  • The 2 represents 2 tens, which is 20
  • The 3 represents 3 ones, which is 3

When we put them together, we get:
20 + 3 = 23
