Tens and Ones Number Cards Worksheet

1st Grade Math

English Counting & Number Sense Kindergarten Readiness 6 years old

Kids often know how to count, but tens and ones can feel slippery. The Tens and Ones Number Cards Worksheet gives first graders one page to read 20, 15, 12, and 10, then show how many tens and ones belong with each number.

At age 6, place value helps numbers make more sense before bigger addition and subtraction show up. Many children stall when a two-digit number looks like one solid shape, so a small set of number cards keeps practice short and calm.

Sit beside the child and read each number card out loud. Ask the child to point to the tens first, say “one ten” or “two tens,” then write the ones in the matching field before moving to the next card.

The page uses just four numbers, so the focus stays on careful thinking instead of busy work. Clear models and writing spaces from Whizki Learning make the worksheet easy to use at the kitchen table, in a math center, or during a quick review.
