Goal: Do you know the tens and ones of a number?

Mason and his mom notice groups of tens and ones when counting the pumpkin cupcakes.

2 groups of 10 cupcakes, and 4 single cupcakes.

They see 2 groups of 10 and 4 groups of 1. These groups of cupcakes look like base-ten blocks! Here are 2 rods and 4 cubes to show the 2 groups of 10 and 4 groups of 1.

2 rods, and 4 cubes.

A place-value chart will help us find the number of pumpkin cupcakes. Let’s put rods in the tens place and cubes in the ones place.

Tens and Ones chart: 2 rods in the tens section, and 4 cubes in the ones section.

What numbers do these blocks show? We know the rods show 2 tens. That is 2 in the tens place of the place-value chart. The cubes show 4 ones. That is 4 in the ones place of the place-value chart.

Tens and Ones chart.

2   4

Now we can see the tens place and ones place of the number of cupcakes.

What number has 2 in the tens place and 4 in the ones place?

Type your answer in the box below.

That is correct!!

Sorry, that is the wrong answer.
