Tens and Ones Kindergarten Worksheet

Place value can feel slippery at first. A child may know how to count to 18, then pause when asked what the 1 in 14 means. This printable page keeps the task small and clear. It focuses on tens and ones for three numbers: 14, 10, and 18.

On the page, your child reads each number, looks at the model, and uses the writing fields to show how many tens and how many ones make that number. The work stays within one ten, so it is a good fit for a kindergarten child who can count small groups and is starting to notice that teen numbers are made from 10 and some more.

Sit together and say the number out loud first. For 14, you might say, “Fourteen is one ten and four ones.” Then have your child point to the model and write the matching tens and ones. Do the same for 10, where there are zero extra ones, and 18, where there are eight ones after the ten. If writing slows things down, let them tell you the answer first, then write it.

After this page, keep the next step just as concrete. Try a number-order page like the Find the Missing Numbers Worksheet to connect teen numbers to counting sequence. When numerals and number names need extra practice, the Number Words and Numerals Worksheet helps your child match how a number looks, sounds, and is written.
