Tens and Ones Number Cards Worksheet

English Counting & Number Sense Kindergarten Readiness 6 years old

Kids often read teen numbers by memory, then stall when asked what the 1 really means. On this printable page, they work with four number cards: 13, 10, 11, and 19. Each card pairs the number with a clear model and writing fields so they can record tens and ones.

This page fits best when a child can recognize some numbers from 10 to 19 and is ready to look at how those numbers are built. If number naming is still wobbly, warm up with number recognition practice for 10 and other numerals first, because quick number naming leaves more attention for place value.

Sit together and point to one card at a time. Say the number, count the full ten in the model, then count the leftover ones before writing in the fields. For 13, you might say, "One ten and three ones make thirteen." For 10, notice that there is one ten and zero ones.

Keep the pace light, because five-year-olds and six-year-olds can get tired of place-value talk fast. Two cards, a short break, and two more cards works well. When these four cards feel familiar, try another tens and ones page for the number 18, because it keeps the same teen-number idea while changing the number to build.

Frequently asked questions

What should my child know before starting?

They should be able to recognize or say the numbers 10, 11, 13, and 19 with some help.

How do I explain a ten to a six-year-old?

Say that a ten is one full group of ten, and the ones are the extra single pieces shown on the card.

What should I do if my child writes the ones number in the tens box?

Point back to the model, count the full ten first, then count the single ones and try that card again.

Can we use this page more than once?

Yes. Slip it in a page protector or cover the writing fields, then let your child write the tens and ones again later.

Should we finish the whole page in one sitting?

No. Two cards at a time is fine, especially if your child is new to teen numbers and place value.

Does this worksheet teach addition?

It focuses on place value, so the main job is showing each number as one ten and a certain number of ones.
